In image one it seems as if most soldiers are African american and the general of them is leading them to the path of freedom you could say.

In the second image it looks as if they're making Abe Lincoln look like he's an aristocrat from the 1600s, showing a knight helmet probably trying to make him look like a tyrant

The Union acted as if they were in the right leading slaves to freedom when they only did it to weaken the southern farms and army. While the south made him look like some kind of tyrant
