Immigrant women working in a steam laundry
(North Women 1)
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
Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865
Slavery -- United States -- 19th century
Slaves -- Emancipation -- United States
United States. President (1861-1865 : Lincoln). Emancipation Proclamation
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.

"Kangaroo" Safety Bicycle
bicycle
The "Kangaroo" Safety Bicycle is advertised as being faster than any bicycle, safer than any tricycle, 100 miles on the road, and a time of 7 hours 11 minutes and 10 seconds, every record of any kind of bicycle or tricycle eclipsed by 71 minutes. This advertisement has key points about its safety and how quick it is. I find it interesting they named it the "Kangaroo" Safety Bicycle. Why after a Kangaroo? Do they share the same qualities? I also think this advertisement is good at aiming toward an audience who is looking for activities to spend their time with. Compared to other advertisements that aim towards the consumers health, gifts, fashion, etc. this advertisement is different where it is advertising something that people can use in their free time.

"The Paroquet of the Wh--E Ho--e"
Reconstruction, Impeachment, Andrew Johnson
This additional cartoon from Harper’s Weekly from 1868 slams Johnson by referring to him as a ‘paroquet’ stuck on repeating ‘Constitution’ over and over and over again. The reluctance to work with Reconstructionists by inciting the Constitution over and over again would lead to Johnson’s impeachment.

"Third World" student groups present demands to University
An alliance of self-described "Third World" student groups presents the University with a list of eleven demands as "a minimum commitment against racism." President Terrell would reject these demands on May 22. The label Third World arises from the idea that many minorities groups in the United States arrive as a result of unequal relationships between the United States and poorer, Third World nations from which specific groups draw their origins.
