EDITORS COMMENTS
This political cartoon, published in 1880, depicts the transition of power from the 'Strong Government' of Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1877) to the 'Weak Government' of Rutherford B. Hayes (1877-1881). In the first panel, the woman personifying the Solid South carries Grant in a carpet bag labeled "carpet bag and bayonet rule," symbolizing the perceived corruption and military intervention during his presidency. In the second panel, Hayes plows under the carpet bag and bayonets with a plow labeled "Let em alone policy," signifying his commitment to states' rights and limited federal intervention. This cartoon reflects the deep-seated tensions between the North and South during Reconstruction, with the Solid South resisting federal authority and advocating for self-governance. The cartoon also highlights the contrasting political ideologies of the two presidents. Grant's administration was marked by military intervention in the South and efforts to enforce the 15th Amendment, which granted African Americans the right to vote. In contrast, Hayes' presidency was characterized by a hands-off approach to Reconstruction, allowing Southern states to re-establish their governments largely free from federal oversight. This powerful image offers a unique perspective on the complex political climate of the late 19th century, as the country grappled with the aftermath of the Civil War and the struggle for civil rights.
