waving the bloody shirt
The term "waving the bloody shirt" refers to a political tactic used in the United States, particularly during the Reconstruction era following the Civil War. It involved politicians, especially Republicans, emphasizing the sacrifices made by Union soldiers and the horrors of the war to garner support for their policies and discredit their opponents, particularly Democrats associated with the Confederacy. This approach aimed to evoke emotional responses and remind voters of the consequences of the war, thereby reinforcing loyalty to the Republican Party and its agenda.
