This question is not complete, as it is missing the options to pick from.

Here they are:

A) "All persons born or naturalized in the United States . . . are citizens of the United States."

B) "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied . . . on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."

C) "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude . . . shall exist within the United States."

D) "But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt . . . or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave."

Knowing that, your answer is C)“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude . . . shall exist within the United States.” This cartoon is titled “Lincoln’s Last Warning” and was published in 1862. It depicts President Lincoln standing in front of a tree with the word “Slavery” written on the trunk. A man is seen trembling in the tree branches, and the following text is displayed at the bottom of the image: “Now, if you don’t come down, I’ll cut the Tree from under you.” It is important to note that this cartoon was published three years before the 13th Amendment was ratified. However, it reflects Lincoln’s views on slavery and his efforts to end it. The cartoon portrays Lincoln as determined to end slavery, even if it means using force to do so.
