NEW TERRITORIES CARTOON - Patient Waiters Are No Losers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 1897 American cartoon, titled "New Territories Cartoon" offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the era of late imperialism. The illustration portrays Uncle Sam, the personification of the United States, embodying patience as he eagerly awaits new territories to fall under his possession. The artist skillfully depicts Uncle Sam surrounded by symbols representing potential acquisitions – Cuba, Canada, Hawaii, and Central America. Each territory is depicted as an apple hanging tantalizingly close to Uncle Sam's grasp. This imagery underscores the prevailing sentiment at the time that these lands were ripe for annexation. The cartoon not only captures the ambition and desire for expansion but also touches upon themes such as manifest destiny and white man's burden. It reflects a belief among Americans that it was their duty to bring civilization and progress to less developed regions. Furthermore, this artwork sheds light on significant political acts during this period in history. It highlights how imperialistic ambitions extended beyond North America into Latin America and Polynesia. Overall, "New Territories Cartoon" serves as a powerful reminder of America's role in late imperialism while raising questions about its motivations and consequences. As we reflect on this historical moment captured within this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded that patience may indeed pay off but must be accompanied by careful consideration of moral implications when seeking territorial expansion.
