What you’re looking at

This political cartoon depicts a confrontation between a Confederate veteran (labeled "Hoe Suit of Georgia") and an angry mob armed with clubs and weapons outside what appears to be a government building. The caption's incomplete text ("Here's where we...") suggests the veteran is about to make a stand or declaration. The cartoon satirizes post-Reconstruction era tensions in Georgia, likely commenting on aging Southern soldiers attempting to reassert political power or resist federal authority. The mob represents either Republican/Union forces or citizens opposing Confederate resurgence. The building in the background suggests this concerns state government control—a central conflict during the contested Reconstruction period when Southern Democrats sought to regain political dominance.
