Caption: School Begins. Uncle Sam (to his new class in Civilization). Now, children, you've got to learn these lessons whether you want to or not! But just take a look at the class ahead of you, and remember that, in a little while, you will feel as glad to be here as they are!

Poster: The Confederated States refused their consent to be governed; But the Union was preserved without their consent.
Book: U.S. — First Lessons in Self Government
