US President Ulysses S. Grant declared that Nast, as a political cartoonist, “did as much as any one man to preserve the Union andbringthe(U.S.Civil)Wartoanend”(Paine1904,p.106;Reaves1987,p.61). Nast is known for his wood carvings that depicted political dilemmas such as the corruptionofelectedofficialsinNewYorkCity,andhepopularizedthedonkeyand theelephantassymbolsofthetwomainpoliticalpartiesintheUSA.Nastgaveus ourmoderndrawingofSantaClaus. Nast also captured other scenes. “Uncle Sam’s Thanksgiving Dinner” was published by Harper’s Weekly just before the Thanksgiving holiday in November vii viii Community 1869,fouryearsaftertheendoftheUSCivilWar.Inthepicture,aNativeAmerican andthosewhohavecometotheUSAfromallovertheworldareinconversationat the holiday table. The table’s centerpiece is about self-governance and universal suffrage (the right to vote in political elections). The picture on the wall with the “Welcome” sign is a picture of Castle Garden, the first US official immigration center (1855–1890). Nast’s captions at the bottom of the picture read “Free and Equal”and“ComeOneComeAll.”Nast’spictureofthoseatthetable,peopleofall ages and backgrounds, is a picture of rights-based inclusion—a very special Community.
