EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1880 American cartoon print titled "The Strong Government / The Weak Government" provides a visual representation of the differing Reconstruction policies of Presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Rutherford B. Hayes. On the left side of the image, we see President Grant being carried in a carpet bag by the Solid South, symbolizing his perceived reliance on corrupt Southern politicians during his presidency from 1869 to 1877. This portrayal suggests that Grant's government was strong but tainted by corruption. In contrast, on the right side of the image, we witness President Hayes plowing under the carpet bag, indicating his commitment to ending corruption and implementing more stringent policies during his tenure from 1877 to 1881. This depiction implies that Hayes' government was weaker than Grant's due to its refusal to rely on corrupt practices. Created by Puck magazine on May 12th, 1880, this political cartoon reflects contemporary sentiments regarding Reconstruction and Republican politics in America at that time. It highlights how different presidents approached post-Civil War reconstruction efforts and their impact on Southern states. Overall, this historical artwork captures an important moment in American history when political acts were scrutinized through satirical illustrations like this one.
