Question 931

The now famous X was first associated with the A's in 1828 during Andrew Jackson's presidential campaign. His opponents called him an"X" and Jackson decided to use X as a symbol of will-power on his campaign posters. Later, a cartoonist used X in newspaper cartoons and made the symbol famous. The same cartoonist also invented the Y associated with the B's. In a cartoon that appeared in Harper's Weekly in 1874, he drew a X clothed in lion's skin scaring away all the animals at the zoo. One of those animals B was labeled as "B".
