The Annexation of Hawaii was an event were the United States took control of the Hawaii, which was its own nation at the time. The issue of this cartoon is the Annexation of Hawaii. This is true because a man is holding a piece of paper will "Hawaiian Annexation Treaty" on it. The cartoonist's message is that most people don't want to annex Hawaii. this is proved by the four men shaking their heads. Another cartoonist's opinion could be that we could be helping the country by annexing it. For example, they might think it will keep invading countries away. One technique used in this cartoon is labeling. For example, the four men all have their names under them. Another technique is symbolism. The "king" sitting on the "throne" represents the president of the U.S. This cartoon supports my opinion of American Imperialism. It does by backing my opinion of not conquering independent nations that are doing fine by themselves. In conclusion, the annexation of Hawaii was the first aggressive example of American Imperialism, which led to many more.
