Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Panels from cartoon "The House That Jeff Built", satirizing Jefferson Davis, slavery, and the Confederacy.
Panel 5, showing a slave auctioneer. "This is the thing, by some call’d a man, Whose trade is to sell all the chattels he can, From yearlings to adults of life’s longest span; In and out of the house that Jeff built." Panel 6, showing shackles, ball & chain. "These are the shackles, for those who suppose their limbs are their own from fingers to toes; And are prone to believe say all that you can, that they shouldn’t be sold by that thing call’d a man; Whose trade is to sell all the chattels he can from yearlings to adults of life’s longest span, in and out of the house that Jeff built." |
