1 the bloody shirt
амер.1) уст. "окровавленная рубашка" (символ вражды между северными и южными штатами во время и после Гражданской войны 1861-65 гг.)2) что-л. используемое для разжигания страстей (обыкн. употр. с гл. to wave)There are gentlemen in this House... who seem to think that whenever I rise upon this floor it is for the purpose of discussing State Rights, whether I propose to discuss State rights or not, because that is one of the great bugaboos which is to go along with the "bloody shirt" in the great contest which is approaching. (‘Congressional Record’, 1876, APT) — В палате имеются джентльмены... которые, по-видимому, считают, что если я прошу слова, то, значит, собираюсь обсуждать права штатов, пусть у меня этого и в мыслях нет. Из этих прав сделали самое настоящее пугало, которое вместе с "окровавленной рубашкой" собираются использовать в предстоящих политических боях.
The Republicans, as usual, "waved the bloody shirt", that is, they relived the horrors of the war and the terror of the ex-slaveholders during Reconstruction, while the Democrats deplored the "excesses" of "carpetbag government" in the South. (W. Foster, ‘The Negro People in American History’, ch. 31) — Республиканцы, как обычно, "размахивали окровавленной рубашкой", другими словами, расписывали все ужасы войны и террора бывших рабовладельцев в период реконструкции, а демократы сокрушались по поводу "эксцессов правительства саквояжников" на Юге.
