The emancipated slave basically looks like President Lincoln’s pet chimp or something. It really is quite shocking and paternalistic, but that is, i suppose, how many people view blacks.

This doesn’t look like freeing a slave at all. It looks quite sexual.

Beyond that, it’s really quite paternalistic and I’m shocked that nobody is offended.

Lincoln is freeing the slaves. That guy would be the representative of the freed.
