EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Horatio Seymour and his friends! : How democrats treat the colored man!" captures a significant moment in American history. The image, created by Thomas Nast in 1868, depicts the aftermath of a speech delivered by Horatio Seymour, the presidential candidate of the Rebel Democracy, on July 4th, 1863. Seymour's words condemning the revolutionary doctrine of public necessity were met with violent riots across New York City. The left side of the print shows chaos unfolding in front of the Tribune building, while on the right side, riots erupt at a colored orphan asylum. This powerful political cartoon serves as a reminder that even during times when democracy is celebrated and freedom is cherished, there are those who seek to suppress and mistreat individuals based on their race. It highlights how Democrats treated people of color during this tumultuous period in American history. Through intricate caricatures and satirical elements, Nast skillfully portrays both the politicians involved in elections and ordinary citizens caught up in these turbulent events. This historical artifact provides valuable insight into America's past struggles with racism and inequality. Preserved by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, this lithograph offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our nation's progress towards equality while acknowledging its complex journey.
