White slave propaganda : ウィキペディア英語版 | White slave propaganda
White slave propaganda refers to the use of images of light-skinned former slaves during the American Civil War to elicit sympathy from northern whites. The images themselves consisted of light-skinned slave children photographed alongside dark-skinned adult slaves in an attempt to make the children look Caucasian. In turn, the hope was that northern whites would purchase the photographs of the children to help fund the education of former slaves in liberated parts of Louisiana. ==Background==
In December 1863, a large portion of the state of Louisiana was controlled by the Union Army. In this region, there were ninety-five schools, containing 9,500 students. Due to the strain of the war, extra funding was needed to continue to run the schools. As a result, the National Freedman's Association, in collaboration with the American Missionary Association and sympathizing Union officers, launched a campaign in which five children and three adults who were all former slaves were sent to the north on a publicity campaign. A woodcut of them was commissioned and appeared in Harper's Weekly in January 1864 with the caption "EMANCIPATED SLAVES, WHITE AND COLORED."
