 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">What is the background of "yellow journalism"?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">For several years, the Cuban situation had been growing as a topic of interest among Americans. It became the backdrop for a New York City circulation war between two of America's prominent newspaper publishers, William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">These journalists competed for readership, money, and power with a sensationalized reporting style that became known as "yellow journalism," a reference to the first newspaper cartoon character to be printed with color, called The Yellow Kid.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">By 1897 both Hearst's //New York Journal// and Pulitzer's //The World// had competing versions of the comic strip. They were soon referred to as, "the Yellow Kid papers," and their work became known as yellow journalism.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">What were the major battles in the war with Spain?

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">What is the Platt Amendment and how did it essentially make Cuba different from the Philippines?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">//Platt Amendment:// After the Spanish-American war, the US gave post-war assistance to Cuba including food, paying the Cuban Revolutionary army, repairing roads, building schools, and helping them to organize a constitutional convention. Cubans modeled their new frame of government on the US Constitution. US wanted more than this, they were concerned a foreign power that was hostile to the US could still take over in Cuba so they insist on the Cuban constitution including the Platt Amendment which says: Cuba must limit its dealing with foreign nations; Cuba must give the US the right to intervene in their country if they are ever unable to protect the life, liberty, and property of the Cuban people; and Cuba must lease a naval base to the US.

Spain had lost there colonies to democratic revolutions following the French Revolution when Napoleon invaded Spain and these other European powers feared a similar lost of power to such revolutions. The Monroe Doctrine was a declaration that the US would consider any European attempt to "extend their system" in Latin America as "unfriendly" to the US and might use force to stop it.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">18. Humor With a Message
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Political cartoons have a deep root in American media and have provided humor as well as critique of politics and government for generations. The era of American History known as the ‘Gilded Age,’ following the end of the Civil War, saw a growth in the usage of political cartoons. The idealism of the post-war period gave way to cynicism, as America became an economic and industrial powerhouse. Artists and intellectuals from major magazines and newspapers in the country created regular cartoons criticizing the growing corruption and inequality they saw in political and everyday life. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Artists like Thomas Nast, who pioneered labeling and personifying objects, helped turn the cartoon into a simple and effective means of communicating political messages. The popularity of political cartoons continued into the Progressive Era at the turn of the 20th Century, with entire magazines appearing based around political cartoons. One of the first of these magazines, //Puck,// became successful as not only a publication but a voice for advocacy of good government. Like most publications of the time, //Puck// advocated for a particular political party, the camp of Grover Cleveland. Before the advent of television or radio, these political cartoons played a large role in helping shape the American political discussion.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**This short clip is meant to introduce the idea of persuasive political cartoons in this unit and to provide several examples of cartoons from multiple perspectives. The cartoons and the notes you take about their effects should help you with the final essay assignment.**

 * //"Let us not be misled by names. Imperialism is not a question of crowns and scepters, of names and titles. It is a system of government. Where a man or body of men, an Emperor, a President, a Congress, or a Nation, claims the absolute right to rule a people, to compel the submission of that people by brute force, to decide what rights they shall have, what taxes they shall pay, what judges shall administer their laws, what men shall govern them,--all without responsibility to the people thus governed--this is imperialism, the antithesis of free government".// (Anti-Imperialist League 1901)


 * //"The Opposition tells us that we ought not to govern a people without their consent. I answer, The rule of liberty that all just government derives its authority from, the consent of the governed, applies only to those who are capable of self- government. I answer, We govern the Indians without their consent, we govern our territories without their consent, we govern our children without their consent. I answer, How do you assume that our government would be without their consent? Would not the people of the Philippines prefer the just, humane, civilizing government of this republic to the savage, bloody rule of pillage and extortion from which we have rescued them? "// (Albert J. Beveridge, "March of the Flag," 16 September 1898)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">SOME REASONS FOR PRO-IMPERIALISM
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">The people of the Caribbean and Pacific ocean are not ready for Democracy, they are backward and should not be afforded the same rights as US citizens until they are comfortable with the ideals of Democracy
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">We need a new frontier since America reaches from the Atlantic to the Pacific we need new lands to keep us from losing our competitive edge. We need to continue our exploring and pioneering spirit!
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Imperialism is a celebration of American tradition and creative spirit
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">We need to gain access to foreign markets especially in Asia, the Philippines makes a great place for us to park our trading ships
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">We need these territories for military reasons. We need to have our navy in the Pacific ocean for our protection from other countries
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">European countries had conquered most of Asia and Africa, the United States would not seem as powerful as Great Britain, France or Germany if we don’t gain territories and colonies as well
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">We have a surplus of goods in the USA, we need to have territories so they can buy these goods Americans are making
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">American businessmen should invest in overseas markets and in order to protect their interests we need a large navy.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">The theory of social Darwinism- we need to introduce Christianity and modern civilization to the heathens of the world
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">We can use the raw materials from the territories to make our country more prosperous

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">SOME REASONS FOR ANTI-IMPERIALISM
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Expanding overseas is a rejection of the nation’s foundation of “liberty for all”
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">“The Constitution must follow the flag” meaning that people in territories controlled by the USA should be entitled to the same guarantees in the US Constitution as US citizens are
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Racism (belief that difference in one’s character or intelligence is due to race) was a cause for imperialism. Americans believe that the Anglo-Saxon race is superior and we should be able to have power over peoples in the Caribbean and the Pacific and that is not a good reason for expansion
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">“Had the Filipinos been white and fought as bravely as they have, the war would have been ended and their independence granted a long time ago” –Bishop Alexander Walters
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">We do not want to absorb more races into the United States, we already have enough different ethnicities and races as it is
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">More taxes since we have to support our military overseas controlling these territories and maybe they might enact a military draft if enough men don’t volunteer
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Laborers coming from other American territories would compete for jobs of Americans already living here
