"Our Colored Citizens: How They Have Been Officially Recognized Both in War and Peace by the Republican Party" is an 8 page pamphlet describing how the Republican Party had been working to enfranchise African-Americans in American government and politics and how the Democratic Party in the South was systematically and purposefully disenfranchising them. Includes a cartoon of Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman preventing an African-American man from voting.
