"Dakota Bush US History." : How Do You Analyze a Political Cartoon? N.p., n.d. Web. 21 Feb. 2016.
Analysis:
This political cartoon covers the issue of The Spanish American War. The cartoonist's message is that America is protecting Cuba because Cuba wanted independence and America wanted to help Cuba fight against Spain for Cuban Freedom. Another opinion on this political cartoon could be that America is trying to take control of Cuba and its resources by going to war with Spain, but I think that is not the case. Some techniques this cartoonist used to make this political cartoon persuasive were analogy and symbolism.
The analogy is that the cartoon is comparing America to a blockade for Cuba, like America is a shield for Cuba. The symbolism presented in this cartoon is that once again Uncle Sam symbolizes America. This cartoon represents my view on the American Imperialism because it is showing that America is willing to make risky moves to gain territory, which is important because I believe it is important to expand America's lands and control .
