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**. This metaphor suggests that the South, represented by the branch, is detached from the tree (the North and the Union), indicating that the branch cannot survive on its own without the support of the tree. This visual representation highlights the interconnectedness and reliance of the Southern economy and society on the Northern states.
