The issue of this political cartoon is the America annexing Hawaii. The message of this cartoon is that without Hawaii, America would be at a disadvantage due to the fact that Hawaii is perfect for a military base and is filled with raw materials. Others however, might think that America should just leave Hawaii alone. The reason they might think that is because America already has an ample amount of land as a country. Some techniques that are used in this cartoon are symbolism and labeling. Queen Liliuokalni and Uncle Sam represent Hawaii and America. The labeling of the cartoon represent the countries’ rules and benefits. This cartoon supports my belief in no Anti-Imperialism because, like I said in cartoon #7, America shouldn’t stop being imperial because that’s what makes America a great country.
