Political Cartoons on Imperialism



This political cartoon is explaining how the U.S. wanted to take over/have control of these places like Alaska, the Philippines, Cuba, etc.  It is also making it look like the U.S. did it so easily. Uncle Sam is just hanging out in a chair smoking while just putting some American flags on the globe. This cartoonist made it look like the U.S. were going to take over these places because they looked pretty, because it was easy, and because we could.

This cartoon artist seems like he/she was not a fan of how Roosevelt handled this situation. It is showing how the two places are being split and he is throwing away his non-supporters. Maybe the author was trying to portray how Roosevelt made everything not unified.

The last cartoon I found was also saying a similar thing to the first one. This also pictures Uncle Sam and he is towering over children who are representing Honduras and Nicaragua. Uncle Sam is saying "Don't step on my feet boys." This is also showing how the U.S. wanted all the power, and to not deal with their problems.

Native American; Poverty

Native American; Poverty           Native American have a very high percent of poverty. Their percentage of poverty is the highest out of any ethnicity in the U.S. according to Pew Research Center.   Not only is their poverty percentage rate very high, so is their unemployment rate. I find this interesting since our class just talked about how from the first books mentioning Indians they described them as lazy. Maybe Native Erik Stegman , there is still 70% of native adults who are under the poverty line. Native Americans being unemployed could relate back to their stereotype. Their poverty and unemployment rate are both high but most have access to education. I thought there could be something wrong with the education. Only 19% do not complete high school and there is a 58% graduation rate, according to Erik.                    The graduation rate is not high, but since there is more peopl...
