American Imperialism

The message of this cartoon is about imperialism of the United States. The other message of this cartoon is that it shows the territory the U.S has gained and it shows the power the U.S has over other countries. The U.S during this time was gaining a lot more territories. McKinley was part of the help in this. The menu items are showing all of the territories such as Porto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines. Other opinions people might have are that the U.S army is really powerful because they have gained lots of territory over other countries. The technique used in this cartoon is symbolism because it uses Uncle Sam and the president McKinley. It also uses labeling because it labels the items on the menu. McKinley was the president at the time during this political cartoon. McKinley helped out in this effort because he led the Spanish-American War and helped Cuba out.
