I think this cartoon is showing people what the people who are wanting slavery are going to do metaphorically to the people who believe in freedom.
(Shove what people believe is right down the other’s throat)

It looks like the other states leaders are forcing Kansas to become a slave state. In the background there is a hung person so I think that is foreshadowing of having Kansas be a slave state a bad idea.

It appears to be someone who thought that they could make a difference by voicing his opinion, and people are maybe trying to silence him?

I think that this picture shows how this was no freedom. Freedom was born with, and had slaves were assigned. Freedom was hard to earn but slavery wasn’t you knew you were assigned when you were born you could tell if you were going to be free or not. The cartoons were showing how slave were given to the privileged not the colored. Some people were sold to other people they were like pets lived in poor condition outside not allowed to be in. Sadly the pet back then had more freedom the most or even all colored people.

I think that the comic is showing politicians who support slavery making others in Kansas (especially farmers who don’t use unfair labor) want slavery ( or at least be ok with it). The man tied down is being fed a slave, and is being forced to use them even when they don’t want to. In the background you can see a skeleton hung from a tree. I think that shows the people who don’t believe in  slavery. The whole topic is upsetting to be honest.

# data[].attributes.body

Andrew Jackson is sitting on the united states drawing out a section of the south, while Abraham Lincoln seems to be pushing him away with wood or holding his balance with the wood.
