The correct answer is A. Indians nations shifted their alliances among competing European powers.
First, in 1763 you can see the need to understand the Indians and a praise to their way of living. Later in 1771, you can read the fear of losing that Indians had regarding the domination of Indian’s land and countries.
Because of that shift, the tribes shifted their alliances hoping they could secure their land by staying on the European’s side - French or British. Native tribes came together to fight European expansion, at last, they were overwhelmed geographically and culturally by the expansion of the colonies.
1. The document which is being revised in the cartoon is The Declaration of Independence. This document was created when America wanted to secede from its 'mother country,' Britain. It states that 'all men are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights,' however, it took many years before these rules were truly implemented.
2. The cartoon has been drawn as a reaction to the Spanish-American War and the acquisition of the Philippines for $20 million. America bought the Philippines from Spain against their will, which is why the author has changed the words of the Declaration.
3. One of the men is Theodore Roosevelt; the other one is I believe President McKinley, and I'm not sure about the third man. They are laughing at their creation, obviously happy and satisfied about it. They aren't really thinking about the country or the people they have conquered, but rather only about their personal profit.
4. The shadow watching this is George Washington, the first President of the USA. He is upset and disappointed at his creation and the people who came after him because this is not what he wanted America to become. People fighting over territory/lack of independence/slavery was not his initial vision.
5. The author is obviously against the US acquisition of the Philippines. He believes that this will take away all of the Filipino freedoms, especially given that they just went from being possessed by one superpower to another, and for such a ridiculous price.
6. Both cartoons tell me that America has become greedy for power and new territories and is not likely to stop any time soon. Although today its expansionist ideology has made a pause, its power is still very much present all over the world, and not necessarily in a good way.
