Annexation of Hawaii Summary:
An annexation of Hawaii was caused by Queen
Liliuokalani limited planters influence to Hawaiians. The issue of the
annexation of Hawaii is America wanting to teach Hawaii not to tell them what
to do. The evidence is on the bottom of the cartoon it says, “Uncle Sam- you
fellows will please stand back bmk while I try these oyster sandwiches myself.”
Others people would have thought it was right to annex Hawaii of the way they
treated us. The way Uncle Sam’s fork says U.S. and Uncle Sam looks like he is
going “fork” them as a punishment, while the other units of U.S are about to
punish them. This does not show American Imperialism that much because they interfere
and almost caused war with Hawaii, but they did have a battle with the
planters. Also how on the political cartoon is treating Uncle Sam as a bad
person who does injustice things. The cartoonist’s message is to show us how we
had punished Hawaii by annexing them. The provided information is by how Uncle
Sam is using the fork to grab Hawaii as our “reward” when winning the battle. Exaggerating
is one of the techniques the cartoonist used. They exaggerated by using the
fork that says U.S. picking on Hawaii as the annexation. The second technique
is labeling. Labeling because the cartoonist labeled the fork Uncle Sam is holding,
and on the bottom it kind of tells us what he says to the people he stops from
moving. As Hawaii was annexed Queen Liliuokalani was excised from her royal
duties.
