Mrs. Carolina asserts her right to "larrup" her nigger
1 print : black and white ; on sheet 35 x 27 cm
Symbolic of all Confederate states, this cartoon shows [South] Carolina, as a woman defending her rights to reprimand her slave, as the Union, portrayed by a man, stands angrily and disapprovingly. South Carolina was the first state to secede from the United States, on December 20, 1860 after the election of Abraham Lincoln.
"The American civil war was on the eve of commencement, and the slave was thought to be the casus belli. --January, 1861."
