| Description |
Photographic reproduction of an anti-Confederate political cartoon showing a dilapidated graveyard of tombstones and a mausoleum
inscribed with vitriolic epitaphs for predominately prominent military figures from the Confederate States. The fictionalized
deceased include Generals P.G.T. Beauregard, Braxton Bragg, John B. Floyd, Robert E. Lee, Leonidas Polk and Henry A. Wise
in addition to Vice-President Alexander Stephens. Within the cemetery, an African American man with a bayonet peers out from
behind a tombstone near a debris-strewn path marked "secession, mob rule, and nullification." Plantations burn in the background.
