A historic campaign poster shortly following the American Civil War in the northern border state of Pennsylvania. It serves an encyclopedic purpose to show that this kind of thing existed and that it was this blatant. Appears at Racism by country#Post-slavery racism and Disfranchisement after the Civil War.
