Description

Image: Retribution scene depicting Jefferson Davis standing on a stool, with a rope wrapped around his neck. An African American man leaves Davis and walks with a bundle slung over his shoulder away from the scene.; Verse 1185: Judas vile betrayed his master, I betrayed fair Liberty. We meet the same end of high treason, and dangle from the same high tree. Massa Davis, what a figure, you will cut upon that swing. I'd sooner be the poorest Nigger, den the whitest "Cotton King."; McAllister, John A. (John Allister), 1822-1896, collector
