Shows white men in colonial attire walking on the sidewalks and street. In the right of the image, an African American man walks beside a white man. Two African American men are depicted in a stockade and attached to a whipping post near the jail. The man attached to the whipping post is attired in a white cloth that is tied around his waist.
