What an appalling cartoon, with those cannons. That’s not a complaint or criticism. It’s just a statement about something that in my view is necessary for people to see. It’s appalling, but I’m glad that I now know about it.
And I was glad to see this statement: “It was the enslaved population that helped to instigate the changes that gradually eroded the institution of slavery in the Confederacy and pushed the United States ever closer to a policy of emancipation.”
As I’ve said here before, and elsewhere, my view is that that crucial factor in the political evolution of emancipation is too little recognized.
But nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that Americans will esteem the Civil War‘s multitudes of freedom-striving, emancipation-forcing slavery escapees. Just not yet.
