Covering the monument of infamy with his white hat and coat" which deals with the Ku Klux and "the Rule of Tammany Ring".
In 1872 the Republican Party split over the reelection of President
Grant. Republican reformers supported newspaper editor Horace Greeley,
who also secured the nomination of the Democratic Party. Thomas Nast, a
strong supporter of the president, mercilessly attacked Greeley as a
tool of Tammany Hall and resurgent Southern white supremacy. Here he
shows Greeley, known as the “White Coat Statesman,” using his trademark
white coat and hat to cover the “monument of infamy” built on a platform
of slavery and the “Ku-Klux.”
