This "civilizing" strategy is shown in the image with the teacher representing "Uncle Sam" and the children representing Caribbean countries assigned from the Spain to the U.S.
(B) Another period to be portrayed in the image is the one known as the "gilded age" (At the end of the 19th century, from the 1870s until about 1900) which representing great economic, political and military growth in the US compared to other countries. With colonialism in full swing, American imperialism thrived mainly on the oppression of native peoples, with the intention of bringing "civilization" to them. Differences in this strategy and the way the white American man saw each of these people at that time can be seen in the image, such as the African American boy cleaning the classroom windows, the indigenous boy reading a book upside down and a Chinese boy wanting to enter the class but that is visibly excluded.
(C) Some of the negative impacts associated with the colonization of Native American and African peoples, among others include degradation of the natural resources of these countries, urbanization, the introduction of strange diseases from Europe, in addition to changes in social and economic systems. Furthermore, even after centuries of the possible end of slavery, the marginalization of African peoples and their descendants, as well as indigenous peoples, Latin-americans, and lower class populations.
