Item Description
Political Label: 3c Banknote, (sm flts), on cover, adjoining Racine WI Sep 23 postmark, someone has penned in "74" which may well be the date (I actually think it may be a bit earlier), addressed in Blue to Milwaukee WI, on reverse is an amazing label reading _NOT a Mutual Agreement_, depicts monkey in tree grasping a cat by the tail, who is screeching and has all claws out! Milwaukee backstamp, reduced a bit at left (or right if you view the cover from the reverse), the sender made his political statement against SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS, light soiling, Fine -VF and very rare.Unlike the Civil War period, political cachets and labels became rarely seen almost immediately following the war. No doubt that this is political, as Thomas Nast did several cartoons where the Southern Democrats were represented as monkeys. This was also a racist slur as the monkey was supposed to represent the Southern Democrats close ties to Reconstruction and Southern freed slaves. The Northern Democrats began to distance themselves from the South and that was the split being lampooned here. Northern Democrats were strong (and themselves quite racist) during the 1870s. A fantastic cover for the collector of Black History, Reconstruction Politics or animal thematics.
