    It depicts a colonist killing an indigenous using self defense as an excuse.

    Colonists victimizing themselves while committing Genocide is tale as old as time now as comic was released in 1876. And very relevant today.

      Do what? The source you linked stated it was about a white (U.S.) southerner and a black child. What “indigenous” person do you think is depicted here…?

            This was around 10 years after the abolishment of slavery in the south, was it not referencing that?

            If not what is the actual context?

              I’m being a little technical, but I think it’s important. He/she would have been either an ex-slave, or a child of slaves, or just in general an African most likely. But definitely not “a slave”.
