American Civil War - Measurement:
- 7.62 x 10.16 (Handbill) (centimeters)
- Description:
- Handbill contains text and a cartoon decrying an 1866 law that paid African American Union soldiers a $300 bounty for service, while not appropriating funds for the promised $100 bounty for white soldiers. Text declares that Grant is for the President, the Convention, and the White Man while Geary is for Congress and the Negro. This apparently refers to John White Geary, who ran for Governor of Pennsylvania in 1866.
