American Imperialism Political Cartoons

Image
 This political cartoon illustrates American imperialism. The cards are representative of the American colonies acquired at the time. The cards are not just number cards, they are the highest ones in the deck, the most prestigious illustrating the impact/influence of these colonies and how America carefully chose them, aligning them in sequential order. The deck gives the viewer the impression that these colonies are at our disposal, to use at anytime we feel necessary, and that imperialism is merely just a game for the United States, it is a way to assert their dominance and prevent themselves from being taken over by other dominant powers in the world. The first thing that the viewer sees when they look at this political cartoon of American imperialism is the giant eagle with its over exaggerated wingspan.

Here, I learned the names of the 5 burglars that broke into the DNC headquarters on the morning of June 1, 1972.

"The Watergate Story": Washingtonpost.com From this source, I learned that Pr...

19th Amendment Arguments

On the National Women's History Museum , Allison Lange, author of National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage quoted Jane Addams, "I do not believe that women are better than men. We have not wrecked railroads, nor corrupted legislature, nor done many unholy things that men have done; but then we must remember that we have not had the chance." This quote is very thought provoking, and provides the reader with a sense of who the author is, and what they believe in before even reading their article. Lange writes that there have been many national suffragist organization since 1869, but there were also anti-suffragist organizations beginning in 1911. She points out that there were people, men and women, who were against suffrage for women. She writes that many anti-suffragists were opposed to the idea of voting for women because they were domestic, they took care of the children and the home, they simply did not have the time to stay informed with politics. They argued wo...
