Below, you will see a picture by cartoonist Thomas Nast. He was a Republican and an avid supporter of Abraham Lincoln. This cartoon was published shortly after the end of the Civil War.
In the comments section, write what you think Thomas Nast believed the end of slavery would mean for the freedmen and women.
(How to read cartoon: The images on the left show life under slavery, and on the right show life after slavery. The middle is of a freed family.)
