•This political cartoon is about the Annexation of Hawaii. The Annexation of Hawaii was when America took Hawaii by force. They did not purchase it like the purchase of Alaska where they bought the territory from someone who was selling. America overthrew the queen of Hawaii and took control. Then, a couple months later they were annexed by America. The issue of this cartoon is that  America is just taking the territory without anyone's permission. A technique that is being portrayed in this political cartoon is exaggeration. Uncle Sam is so much bigger than the counties and territories he is surrounded by. Another one is labeling. They are labeling the countries like Cuba.
