The issue of this political cartoon is Hawaii becoming a part of America. This cartoon is saying that Queen Liliuokalni simply won’t just give her country over to America. The message of this cartoon is that America simply wasn’t the only country who doesn’t give up without a fight. Some others might think though that Hawaii is making a very good decision of saying no to letting America taking over. Their reason might be because that any country has the right to be independent as one; I , on the other hand think that Hawaii is making a huge mistake. Some techniques that are used in this cartoon are labeling and analogy. As the cartoon shows, Hawaii is representing the Queen with her country name on her dress. The analogy of this cartoon is that Queen Liliuokalni refused to marry Uncle Sam; this rejection of marriage is the same rejection as handing over a country to America. This cartoon definitely supports my opinion about no supporting Anti-Imperialism because Hawaii did not know what they were up against and America always fights back.
