For the remainder of his presidency the story of his sneaking, like a coward, through Baltimore would be told and retold by his enemies, with particular effect by cartoonists of the day. He was drawn with many variations of Scottish headwear, which eventually morphed into a Scottish [[
Balmoral bonnet|balmoral]] cap and very short [[kilt]]. The absurd disguise was frequently accompanied by a terrified expression on the President's face, to further undermine the public's image of his courage and manliness. Images such as [http://www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/civil-war/1861/march/plot-kill-lincoln-1861.htm this comic strip] in ''[[Harper's Weekly]]'' plagued Lincoln throughout his presidency.
