A Walls from 1916

Uncle Sam peers from behind the walls of a fort built of a literacy test and armed with pens. A flag in the background reads 'The Land of the Free'. Outside the fortress wall is a family just arrived on the shore looking up at Uncle Sam and his wall. Caption:

Speaking of imagined walls, here’s one from 1916, courtesy of the Library of Congress.
