American Imperialism

1.       The political cartoon is showing how reality isn’t everything we see on television, advertisements, and media.  Also, even though America is the land of the free, we are still fighting somewhere out there to keep it that way whether its verbally in our country or violently somewhere else.

2.       Renew American Spirit

             Spread Christianity
             More Ports and Trade
             Conflicts with Spain and the Spanish War
             Expansion Overseas/Cheap Labor
             Economic Benefits
             Military Control
