The issue about this political cartoon is about the Spanish-American war. The cartoonists message about this cartoon is about how America wanted to help Cuba get out of the rule of the Spanish. An opinion I can see other people make is that America is going to Cuba and going to take over Cuba. I say this because as you see Uncle Sam is bring physically battle ships towards Cuba and it it looks like they are going to fight/battle Cuba for land.
One technique I can spot is labeling. I say there is labeling beause in the clouds above Uncle Sam's head says "War", the land of Cuba is literally labeled "Cuba" and above that is says "Havana". Another technique I see the cartoonist use is exaggeration. I say this because the cartoonist is literally making look like Uncle Sam is bigger then Cuba and is tall enough to walk in the ocean. Big exaggeration going on right here. This cartoon does support my stance on because America was truly trying to help Cuba get out of the hands of suffering from the Spanish so i think was nice.
