Immigrant women working in a steam laundry
subject: (North Women 1)
description: In industrial cities like Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chicago, and Minneapolis, women worked in similar occupations as they did in the countryside, such as laboring from home. They sewed hats, did textile piecework, and made shoes. As in the countryside, urban home laborers tended to be married women with children. In contrast to the countryside, however, home laborers in cities were often poor immigrants. Their extreme dependence on the income from home labor made them targets of exploitation. (13) Women also did work that would do at home in factories, such as working in laundries.

The Herod of the Nineteenth Century
subject: Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865 Slavery -- United States -- 19th century Slaves -- Emancipation -- United States United States. President (1861-1865 : Lincoln). Emancipation Proclamation
description: A depiction of Abraham Lincoln as a king holding a glass labeled "power". This cartoon is charging Lincoln for being complacent with the border slave states. The figure to left holds a slave in one hand and a pitcher labelled "tobacco" in the other. Her shirt says "cotton" and her dress "union with slavery" while her legs have "avarice" (greediness) and "prejudice. She is asking for the head of Liberty, who is locked in a cell pondering "Who'll protect me know?" Though Lincoln did announce the Emancipation Proclamation he still exhibited a hesitancy to free slaves in areas controlled by the Union. He had rebutted the emancipation proclamations of both John C. Fremont and David Hunter prior to his own proclamation. In the cartoon Lincoln is reaching for a jug labelled "expediency" inferring that he was willing to undertake the easiest course regardless of issues like slavery.
