English: "The First of May 1865, or Genl Moving Day in Richmond Va," lithograph, created by Kimmel & Forster, New York City, 1865. Courtesy of the Ulrich B. Phillips Collection, Yale University Manuscripts & Archives Digital Images Database.
Cartoon satirizing Confederate government abandonment of the capital at Richmond. Confederate leaders are caricatured as being evicted from a run-down house. General Robert E. Lee loading swords and guns in a cart hitched to scrawny dogs. A man (Jefferson Davis?) hauls boxes labeled with names of Confederate states; the load is falling apart off his back. Onlookers include a barefoot child, a man with one arm, and an African-American thumbing his nose as a taunt. |
