Description

"In Self-Defense". 1876 editorial cartoon by A. B. Frost. Depicts a caricatured former Confederates in the U.S. South with a knife and smoking gun in his hands standing over the corpse of an African-American toddler.

Caption:

SOUTHERN CHIV.: "Ef I hadn't-er killed you, you would hev growed up to rule me."

Notes: "Chiv" is a sarcastic reference to supposedly "Chivalrous" Southern US culture. Quote lettered to suggest rural dialect; in more conventional English it would be "If I hadn't killed you, you would have grown up to rule me."
