This cartoon is about the annexation of Hawaii. I know this because the queen of Hawaii is on one side of the sea-saw and Uncle Sam on the other. The cartoonist's message on this topic is that the U.S is better than Hawaii. I say this because the queen is on the high side which is the losing side and Uncle Sam is standing up on his side. Another opinion could be that the U.S. should get sugar from Hawaii. I know this because Uncle Sam is on the floor by the sugar. One technique could be labeling and I know this because the barrel is labeled sugar. Another technique could be exaggeration and I say this because of how big the queen of Hawaii was. This does not support my view on imperialism. This cartoon is negative and is saying that the U.S. is larger so they should have the sugar.
