'Going to hell in a handbasket', 'going to hell in a handcart', 'going to hell in a handbag', 'go to hell in a bucket',[1] 'sending something to hell in a handbasket' and 'something being like hell in a handbasket' are variations on an American allegoricallocution of unclear origin, which describes a situation headed for disaster inescapably or precipitately.
Diminishing returns mac os. I. Winslow Ayer's 1865 polemic[2] alleges, 'Judge Morris of the Circuit Court of Illinois at an August meeting of Order of the Sons of Liberty said: 'Thousands of our best men were prisoners in Camp Douglas, and if once at liberty would 'send abolitionists to hell in a hand basket.''[3]
The origin of the phrase although much debated has been attributed to the gold rush where men were lowered by hand in baskets down mining shafts to set dynamite which could have deadly consequences. [4] However, the usage probably dates much earlier with either the baskets used to catch guillotined heads or maybe as far back as the Bible’s account in Exodus of Moses being placed in a handmade basket. As a consequence, the earlier usages date back to the Journal entitled Weekly Pacquet of Advice from Rome: or, The history of popery, dating from 1862 that stated:'..that noise of a Popish Plot was nothing in the world but an intrigue of the Whigs to destroy the Kings best Friends, and the Devil fetch me to Hell in a Hand basket, if I might have my will, there should not be one Fanatical Dog left alive in the three Kingdoms.' [5] This would make the saying not of U.S. origin.

Even earlier iterations of this phrase are 'go to hell in a wheelbarrow' and 'go to hell in a handcart'. Evidently, the idea of being carted to hell in a wheelbarrow can be seen on such religious iconography as the stained glass windows of Fairford Church in Gloucestershire and Hieronymus Bosch's painting The Haywain, circa 1515, and was used in sermons dating back to 1841. [6]
In popular culture[edit]
Hieronymous Bosch painting The Haywain (c. https://freecommon.mystrikingly.com/blog/slithering-waters-mac-os. 1515) (in the Prado, Madrid) illustrates a large cart of hay heading to Hell. The cart is drawn by 'infernal beings that drag everyone to Hell'.
