6 0

The Battle of Yorktown, also called the Siege of Yorktown, fought from October 6–20, 1781.[1] It is considered the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War.[1] The Continental Army, led by General George Washington, won a decisive victory against the British Army, led by General Lord Charles Cornwallis.[1] Cornwallis was forced to surrender after being surrounded by Washington's army.[1]

The Americans were assisted by the French, led by the Comte de Rochambeau. The battle took place in Yorktown, Virginia, near the York River. After the French fleet defeated a British fleet, Cornwallis was cut off and had to surrender to the French and the Continental Army. Eventually, it led to the Treaty of Paris in 1783, two years later.

What event above is being depicted in the cartoon to the right? Explain

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The political cartoon entitled "He Wouldn't Take it Any Other Way" by Victor Gillam shows the exaggeration that Filipinos were savage-like creatures, unaware of civilization, and lived a rather outdated lifestyle similar to the Native-Americans. Another exaggeration in this comic is the paper at the end of the knife pointing towards the Filipino man reading:

'Liberty and Civilization'

which basically represents the Americans' view of the Filipinos being reluctant to accept the United States' offers of "liberty and civilization" which they forced upon the Filipinos to accept, anyway.

The "bringer" of "Liberty & Civilization" is depicted as the United States (drawn by an American at the time). The bringer seems to be using force and threatens the Filipino with a knife. This demonstrates how the United States will go as far as threatening those of the land which they are trying to posses.

The message of this cartoon is somewhat biased, however it could be depicted as something along the lines of the following:

- The Filipinos were underdeveloped people who were reluctant to accept the offers of the willing Americans, and the only way they'd accept is if the Americans threatened them.

- The Philippines were possessed by the United States and, willing to improve and maintain their territory, were reluctant about accepting what the U.S. has to offer.

The message of the cartoonist seems to lean towards the first message, and that the United States only wanted to help the Philippines.

Obviously, with the cartoonist's message in mind, they are in favor of U.S. imperialism, as the expansion of U.S. territory out of boundaries is no problem, even if those of the territory are reluctant towards the idea.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The black civil rights movement in the United States has gone down in history as an example of a heroic struggle against flagrant injustice. Indeed, people who opposed racial segregation were not brave enough, and many of them, including Martin Luther King, paid their lives for their beliefs. However, the success of the movement was due not only to the personal qualities of fighters for equality, but also to purely economic reasons. Moreover, when the demands of black Americans went beyond economic feasibility, the Black movement began to suffer defeat and significantly weakened. It all started with the fact that yesterday's slaves were given freedom and immediately were subjected to depriving it..

In December 2016, the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Montgomery transport company boycott, from which the Black Civil Rights Movement began, was celebrated. Later it led to the abolition of the segregation system based on the laws of Jim Crow. In the city of Montgomery, Alabama, black residents (about 50,000 people) entered a massive targeted struggle, overcoming the hatred of racists and the hostility of local authorities.

The system that developed in the South was contrary to the main principle of a growing consumer society, according to which the consumer should be happy when he makes a purchase, when he goes into a store, when he gets in a new car. But in the context of segregation of a black consumer, it was as if they deliberately made him hate a store, a product, a manufacturer, a seller, and a country in which his human dignity was humiliated daily.
