    Aside from his mutton chops he’s white as fuck.

    Look at his chin. Look at his hands. Forehead. white.

    Edit: for comparison, other political cartoons from the time period.

    (for a little context, 1869 was a period where people were debating reconstruction and other odds and ends, like who has the right to vote, etc. They were absolutely racist fucks. these were just the ones I could reasonable conclude were from 1869-ish. at the top of results for ‘1869 political cartoons’.)
