Reilly, 1861-41 Cartoon evoking the Declaration of Independence to promote the emancipation from enslavement. Depicts rays of light representing God above a soaring American eagle that clutches olive and oak branches and two American flags labelled "All Men are Created Equal" and "Stand by the Declaration." Suspended from the flags is a large basket in which an African American man and a white man are seated. The African American man drops his broken shackles out of the basket as the abolitionist proclaims "Break Every Yoke; Let the Oppressed Go Free" to a large crowd of men, women, and children cheering below. Among the crowd is a white man Union soldier; a white newsboy selling the "Herald," an abolition newspaper; and a free African American man. Verses of text appear atop the rays of light and beside the basket espousing the religious, moral, and historical justifications for emancipation. 7700.F Dominique C.
