“The Situation” (1868)
Take a look at the cannon and rammer (in the man with a beard’s hand). What do they say? What
does this represent?
Who are the people next to the cannon? What role did they play in relation to President Johnson’s impeachment?
Who are the people across from the cannon? What role did they play in relation to the impeachment?
What does the paper say in the man’s hand on the right? What is it? What is the message of this political cartoon?
