Civil War Cartoons
Photo from A Virginia Village Goers to War: Falls Church During the Civil War, by Bradley E Gernand, page 25.
"This cartoon ridiculing the lack of freedom in voting for secession was carried in Harpers Weekly. a number of Fairfax residents who would probably have voted against secession stayed away from the pools because of intimidation and threats of violence by secessionists. Fairfax voted overwhelmingly in favor of seceding. Virginia State Library" Photo and quote from Fairfax County, Virginia: A History.
