The cartoonist likely used a tree and branch to illustrate the South’s secession from the United States **to show that the South could not succeed without the North**. The imagery of a tree might symbolize the connection between the South and the North, with the branch representing the South's reliance on the broader structure of the United States. The separation of the branch from the tree could visually convey the message that secession would lead to the South's weakening or downfall, emphasizing its interdependence with the North.
