Caption: Although this illustration may not thoroughly refer to the Civil War period, it does portray a meaning to it. The first block shows a white man saying, “I am the law,” which is an on-target phrase from that time period. White men used to believe that they had the right to do anything and everything, whether it is defying a black man or killing a black man.
