purpose
Thomas Nast is seeking a Republican victory in the election and attempting to gain the votes of three major peoples by ridiculing and stigmatizing Democrats. By painting a picture showing the Democratic party as anti-Black, Nast encourages African-Americans to vote for the Republican party candidate instead. A similar
princaple
applies to people who wish to implement the Reconstruction Act. Finally, by implying that the Democratic party consists of cheating, racist oxygen thief's, Nast attempts to cause the least amount of people possible to vote for them.Slide7
Point of View
Thomas Nast is a Republican-party support who seeks to elect Ulysses S. Grant as president rather than Horatio Seymour. This political cartoon depicts
Democratics
in a negative light, persuading viewers of the comic to vote for a Republican president instead.Slide8
The comic displays three types of individuals who represent the people who make up the Democratic party.
