This cartoon is an anti-Lincoln political cartoon because it is potraying Lincoln in a negative way, making his face look very odd. It gives Lincoln a very sly appearance. Lincoln is known for supporting African American's and their freedom, but in this cartoon it is showing Lincoln taking advantage of them. The African American looks very annoyed and angry towards Lincoln, with his back facing him. This cartoon has to do with the Civil War recruitment "One good term deserves another," which is showing how they think Lincolns thoughts are on the importance of former slaves to the Union war effort in the Civil War.
