Description

Cartoon depicting voter intimidation. "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 polls because of intimidation and threats of violence by secessionists. Fairfax voted overwhelmingly in favor of seceding."
