Summary

An African American man, a former Union soldier, proudly displays a slip of paper labeled "A vote" while a disgruntled former Confederate soldier, with a frown on his face, his hands in his pockets, and a torn slip of paper at his feet labeled "No vote", stands before a broadsheet "Military Bill" with the notice: "Except such as may be disfranchised [sic] for participation in the Rebellion or for felony".
Illus. in: Harper's weekly, v. 11, no. 537 (1867 April 13), p. 240.
