What is the meaning of the fun for the boys political cartoon? is the cartoon anti-imperialism or for imperialism? what document is being revised in the cartoon? what event, that came after the spanish-american war, is this cartoon being drawn in response to? in the cartoon, who is the shadow/ghost watching this happen and how would you describe his emotion? is the cartoonist for or against the u. s. acquiring the philippines? explain how you arrived at this conclusion.

The "Fun For the Boys" political cartoon is outlining US imperialism in the Philippines. After the losing the Spanish-American War to the US, Spain signed over ownership of the Philippines to America. The people of the Philippines were outraged and revolted, seeking independence.

The cartoon is clearly anti-imperialism. The document being revised in the political cartoon is the Declaration of Independence. The cartoon is being drawn in response to the Philippine-American War of 1899. The shadow/ghost watching the document revision is George Washington and I would describe him as showing a reflective/deep-in-thought emotion. The cartoonist is against the US acquiring the Philippines.

They show this by poking fun at William H. Taft, William McKinley, and Theodore Roosevelt. It shows them in a classroom-like setting looking juvenile and jovial at the prospect of acquiring the Philippines. In the cartoon they are: editing and promoting the Declaration as lies, holding people of color as unequal to those of European descent, and off-putting Washingtonian ideals because George Washington is a "has-been".

The political cartoon "Fun For the Boys" depicts US imperialism in the Philippines.

a)After losing the Spanish-American War to the United States, Spain agreed to hand up control of the Philippines to the United States. The Filipino people were furious and revolted, demanding independence.

b)Clearly, the cartoon is anti-imperialist. The Declaration of Independence is the document being rewritten in the political cartoon. The cartoon was created in response to the 1899 Philippine-American War.

c)George Washington is the shadow/ghost witnessing the paper alteration, and he is expressing a reflective/deep-in-thought mood.

d)The cartoonist opposes the United States' acquisition of the Philippines.

e)They make fun of William H. Taft, William McKinley, and Theodore Roosevelt to demonstrate this. It depicts them in a classroom-like atmosphere, looking naive and giddy with the idea of gaining control of the Philippines. They're revising and pushing the Declaration of Independence as a falsehood, treating people of color as second-class citizens to those of European descent, and dismissing Washingtonian values since George Washington is a "has-been."
