Keep Us Together

This 1970 cartoon shows Abraham Lincoln whispering into President Richard Nixon’s ear, sweat dripping from his brow. Nixon is holding the United States, which is fracturing, highlighting the tensions and divineness that are plaguing the nation: "Hawks vs. Doves," "Riots," "Protests," "Strikes," "Crime," "Racial Strife," "Integration Tensions." In the center and in bold print is written "Internal Disunity." In this cartoon, Lincoln is shown a guiding force for Nixon during this trying time.
