Question

1)What message is the cartoonist trying to express about the civil War ?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. The cartoonist shows how the union used the excuse of ending slavery through the civil war, but left blacks as captive as before, during reconstruction. This is because it was during the reconstruction that the kkk suggested and provoked a terror equal (or greater) than slavery among blacks and the government did nothing to prevent it.

2. The second cartoon shows how Abrahan Lincoln worked to normalize things in the USA after the war to make him as successful as before. However, President Andrew Johnson did not work for this and was only "propped up" on Lincoln's work while maintaining a pose.
