EDITORS COMMENTS
This political cartoon, created in January 1899 by W. McKinley, captures the pivotal moment when President McKinley is faced with a crucial decision regarding American expansionism. Following the Treaty of Paris in December 1898, which granted Puerto Rico and the Philippines to the United States, McKinley finds himself at a crossroads. The image portrays an introspective McKinley contemplating his next move as he stands before a map of America. The weight of this historic decision is evident on his face, reflecting the gravity of choosing whether or not to embrace expansionism. The artist skillfully conveys the complexity of this choice through symbolism and imagery. The inclusion of Puerto Rico and the Philippines on the map emphasizes their newfound importance in American politics. Additionally, references to late 19th-century Republican ideals highlight how party affiliation may influence McKinley's decision-making process. As viewers engage with this thought-provoking artwork, they are invited to ponder questions surrounding imperialism and its implications for America's role on the global stage. Will President McKinley choose to pursue expansionist policies? How will these decisions shape America's future? Ultimately, this print serves as a visual representation of an era marked by significant political acts and sets forth important considerations that continue to resonate today.
