This political cartoon depicts incumbent president U.S. Grant as Goliath and his Democratic challenger Horace Greeley as the plucky David. These characters are taken from the Old Testament; in the story David overcame Goliath, but in reality Grant won reelection. This could be used as a lesson starter or mid-lesson.
