Print 8-1/2" x 10-7/8", withdrawn from Punch, August 9, 1862, VG. An extraordinary political cartoon depicts Lincoln offering a rifle and knapsack to a slave, titled "ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER" with Lincoln saying, "'Why, I du declare, it's my dear old friend Sambo. Lend us a hand, old hoss, du." Within a month, Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation and by 1863 the recruitment of blacks commenced in earnest. Between 1863 and 1865 one hundred and eighty thousand Black men enlisted under the Union flag.
