Political parties don't always get to choose the symbols that represent them. Today, donkeys represent Democrats while elephants represent Republicans. But
the two parties didn't intentionally choose these symbols. Instead, they developed organically over the course of the 1800s.
Much of the "blame" for the elephant and donkey's popularity can be attributed to the work of the cartoonist Thomas Nast. Born in Germany, Nast immigrated to New York in 1846. His gifts for illustration and social observation found ready use in national news magazines that did not yet have the means to publish photos. Nast published more than 3,000 drawings between 1862 and 1885. In them, the elephant and donkey became familiar stand-ins for the two parties. Nast's elephant and donkey appeared together in a cartoon for the first time in 1879, in the cartoon you see here.
This cartoon and many other examples of American political symbols are featured in the museum's new, permanent exhibition, "American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith." It opens TOMORROW! ???? #PoliticalHistory #Civics #AmericanHistory #PoliticalCartoon #Democrats #Republicans #APUSH #myDCcool #aCreativeDC #WashingtonDC #PrimarySource
