"Hope Mills" or factories opened wide their doors to under-aged children as workers, with Governor Russell welcoming them in.
2. The intended audience for this poster are voters and politicians. Norman Jennet's cartoons helped the Democratic Party unseat the Republic Governor of North Carolina in the 1898 elections. Voters, influenced by this cartoon, voted out the Republic Party that had commercialized children. Instead of the children being in their schools and families, they were herded to factories for child labor.
3. Norman Jennet's cartoons used the propaganda techniques known as transfer propaganda and name-calling or stereotyping. The transfer propaganda uses visuals to relate to the identities of those depicted in the propaganda messages by close association.
Stereotyping showed that African Americans belonged to a race that sways to profits. According to history, Jennet's cartoons on the Democratic Newspapers, the Raleigh, and the Observer "ridiculed Governor Daniel L. Russell and other politicians, and many featured stereotypical depictions of African Americans."
4. This cartoon is an effective propaganda cartoon. Conscientious voters decided to cast their ballots for the Democratic Party. They preferred not to be associated with the child-labor and family-destroying Republican candidate.

Thus, cartoonists have widely used the visual aid offered by cartoons to sway public opinions and votes since they first appeared in Ben Franklin's 1754 The Pennsylvania Gazette.
