19th century illustration showing the Temple of Liberty boarded up by US southern states trying to prevent African Americans from voting. Underneath the illustration is a statement by then US Secretary of State William Maxwell Evarts' statement: 'Freedom of suffrage to the blacks means freedom of suffrage to the whites'. The illustration shows Southern states opposed to Evarts' statement encouraging Northern states, to also board up their side of the Temple of Liberty. Their response being: 'Hurry up, dough-face, and shut up your side. Mine is solid'. Wood engraving by Thomas Nast for the political magazine Harper's Weekly, 1880.
