| Description | Print shows a African American man anchored by the "tree of Liberty" extending his hand to help his former slave master drowning in a river. The man refuses the help. Ulysses Grant stands on the bank of the river a encouraging the man to accept help. The cartoon was published during Grant's presidential campaign of 1868, and may allude to the temporary political disenfranchisement of Southern whites in Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, which had not yet been restored to the Union. |
