EDITORS COMMENTS
The Thanksgiving Cartoon, 1898 captures the essence of American politics and territorial acquisitions during a significant period in history. This cartoon depicts the aftermath of the Spanish-American War and its impact on the United States. In this lively illustration, we see Uncle Sam, representing America, seated at a grand Thanksgiving dinner table adorned with traditional holiday fare. However, what makes this scene truly unique are the "new faces" joining him for this feast. Each face symbolizes one of the U. S. territorial acquisitions resulting from the war. Hawaii is represented by a Hawaiian figure wearing a grass skirt, showcasing its Polynesian heritage. Cuba is depicted as a Cuban turkey while Puerto Rico appears as an elegant Latin American lady. The Philippines are portrayed by a Filipino man holding their national flag proudly. This cartoon serves as both political commentary and celebration of these new additions to America's diverse tapestry. It highlights how these territories have become an integral part of American identity and culture. As we reflect on this historical moment captured in print, it reminds us to appreciate our nation's growth through acquisition and integration while celebrating unity amidst diversity during Thanksgiving festivities.
