Sumner's "legacy"

A political cartoon referencing Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner and the results of the Civil War. The situation involves a landlord and a radical congressman who is staying in the landlord's lodgings. The radical congressman is awoken in the middle of the night and told that a black man seeks lodging but the boarding house is full. The congressman "must divide or give up the room, for you see, according to the civil rights bill, I can't refuse your friend lodging without paying him five hundred dollars, and that I can't afford to do; so you must make room for him."
