This political cartoon illustrates the life of many African Americans in the south after the Emancipation Proclamation. The cartoon shows a soldier protecting a very scared looking African American from a white southerner holding a whip. Unfortunately, after many slaves were freed they still lived a very scared life. They faced threats such as the KKK and many other angry white southerners. Many African Americans were lynched or beaten to death and had very little protection.
The political cartoon clearly depicts a time after the Emancipation Procalamation was signed.Slaves were free and protected by the northerns;however,slaves were still treated badly by those in the south.
ReplyDeletethis picture cleary shows that blacks were still terrified even after they were slaves.because while they were slaves they was always told what to do.Now that there free there scared and lost at thesame time.
ReplyDeleteNice job!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, this cartoon shows how even though African Americans were somewhat free, they are still scared and confused about what to do. They were also still treated badly in the South as well because they didn't take to kindly to the Emancipation Proclamation.
