The Cartoon That Tried to Whitewash History
We're Still Whitewashing History.
Some people still like the “white” part
John Haven must have been a damn racist sociopath to make such an evil cartoon. Did you find any articles on public reactions to this at the time? I'd be curious to see who called him out on this false comparison.
Have not looked for reactions to this cartoon. But it was not uncommon for slavery apologists to mythologize the dancing slave and smiling mammy.
