Note: |
|
Like the two previous illustrations, this one shows
how the Union military advance—in this case, under
General William Tecumseh Sherman—fostered
emancipation, with (former) slaves streaming across
Union lines. Thomas Nast, the illustrator, depicts
several of the freed people prominently in the
foreground, assisting tired or injured white Union
soldiers. |
