The issue of this political cartoon is Uncle Sam protecting the Southern countries. He is hovering over them as if to protect them from Spain. The cartoonist message of this cartoon is having Uncle Sam being a big giant. Also he is having Uncle Sam reaching out to Cuba and countries around it protecting them from Spain. Others might think that Uncle Sam is trying to tear of spain. Or he could be trying to reach for Cuba's permission to have America help them. The cartoonist used exaggeration by making Uncle Sam bigger than the countries he is protecting. He also used symbolism by showing America protecting the other countries like Cuba. This cartoon is not against my opinion on American Imperialism. This is so because America is only trying to protect Spain
