Learning Objectives:
- Students will collaboratively analyze and compare editorial cartoons focusing on American imperialism drawn by both American and foreign cartoonists
- Students will determine if the editorial cartoons were drawn from an American or foreign perspective and interpret the meaning of the cartoons.
- Students will identify the cartoonists' intentions and evaluate the effectiveness of each cartoon's message.
- Students will synthesize and present their final interpretations.
Students will be divided into groups and asked to analyze and evaluate editorial cartoons pertaining to late 19th and early 20th century American imperialism. Students are expected to determine the perspective of the artists. After group evaluation, students will present their finding to the entire class.
- Editorial cartoons 1-6 and accompanying overhead transparencies (for teacher)
- American_Imperialism_Worksheet.pdf
- Editorial cartoons 1-6 without publishing information (for students)
Pre-Assessment:
Teachers should use these questions to facilitate a pre-lesson discussion:
- What is imperialism?
- Give two examples of imperialism that we have studied.
- What are the historical consequences of imperialism? Consider the objectives of the conquerors and the expected responses of the conquered.
- What are the important aspects of editorial cartoons that we must look for?
Instructional Steps:
- Complete pre-assessment discussion questions.
- Divide class into six groups and distribute packet with cartoons 1-6
- Assign each group a specific cartoon. Each group should complete the "American Imperialism Worksheet" based upon their assigned cartoon.
- Individually each group will present their analysis of their cartoon while an overhead projection is displayed to the entire class.
- At the end of each presentation students will discuss the analysis and differing opinions of their classmates.
Post-Assessment:
Teachers should use the following questions to facilitate a post-lesson discussion:
- Based on today's research and activities how do the perspectives of American and foreign authors differ regarding American foreign policy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries?
Extension Activities:
- The symbols, names and characters in cartoon number one are used to portray American Imperialism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. How can these symbols, names and characters be changed in order to make the cartoon relevant to current American foreign policy.
- Why did the United States engage in imperialism?
- How did the American government justify their imperialistic actions?
- How does this image portray both of these concepts?
*Please note: The image "Peace" is from Puck , March 29, 1905.

Lesson Plan Political Cartoons: Finding Point of View
A careful analysis of political cartoons can provide a glimpse into key moments of U.S. political history.

Students will be able to:
- Analyze political cartoons.
- Identify the ways in which point of view can be detected in political cartoons.
Time Required
Two 50-minute class periods
Lesson Preparation
- Print out one copy of the cartoon for each student
- Prepare an overhead transparency of the cartoon
- Display the cartoon using a computer and LCD projector
- Whiteboard, chalkboard, overhead or chart paper
- Primary Source Analysis Tool (PDF, 79 KB) (print two copies per student)
- “The repeal, or the funeral of Miss Ame=Stamp” (PDF, 863 KB) (print one copy per student)
- “The repeal, or the funeral of Miss Ame=Stamp”, Large Tiled Image (PDF, 4.91 MB) (optional; print one copy to display in the classroom)
The following materials are used during extension activities:
- “Magna Britannia” (PDF, 323 KB) (print one copy per student)
Before leading students through the exploration process, teachers should make themselves familiar with the following Library of Congress resources:

- Timeline: Events Related to the Formation of the United States
- Teacher's Guide for Analyzing Political Cartoons
Additional Resources
- Benjamin Franklin…In His Own Words
- John Bull and Uncle Sam: The American Revolution
Lesson Procedure
Activity one (one class period).
- What is a political cartoon? A political cartoon is a cartoon that makes a point about a political issue or event.
- What topics do political cartoons address? Could include economics, politics, social issues/events, prominent individuals.
- How can you tell what the message of the political cartoon is? By observing and analyzing the images and text.
- What is a thesis? A main idea put forward for discussion, such as in a paragraph, an essay, or a cartoon.
- What is point of view? A person’s belief or judgment on an issue.
- How might point of view affect a political cartoonist? A cartoonist will be guided by his or her point of view. Cartoonists might only express their own beliefs on an issue, or they might take the point of view of others into consideration.
- Introduce the concept of primary source analysis to the students. Distribute the Primary Source Analysis Tool (PDF 79 KB) to each student and explain that they will use this handout to analyze a political cartoon. Tell them that the key to primary source analysis isn’t finding the correct answer, but asking the most effective questions. Before the students begin, select questions from the teacher’s guide Analyzing Political Cartoons to focus and prompt analysis and discussion. Distribute or display a recent political cartoon on an issue of current interest. Model for students the process of inquiry-based primary source analysis using questions from each column as a guide. Students should record the responses on their individual handout. Lead students through a discussion of the point of view expressed in this cartoon.
- Have students create a political cartoon that communicates a different point of view than the one they analyzed.
Activity Two (One Class Period)
- Have students pair up and share the political cartoons they created. Remind students of the primary source analysis process they went through previously, and ask them to discuss each other’s cartoons for five minutes. Distribute the Primary Source Analysis Tool handout, and ask students to discuss each other’s cartoons.
- Explain to students that they will be analyzing a historical political cartoon and thinking about the political cartoonist’s point of view. Distribute “The repeal, or the funeral of Miss Ame=Stamp” (PDF, 863 KB) to each student, along with the Primary Source Analysis Tool (PDF, 79 KB). Have students perform a primary source analysis on the cartoon, recording their responses on their individual copies of the handout. Ask students to evaluate the cartoon to examine the cartoonist’s point of view. If students need prompting use questions selected from the teacher's guide Analyzing Political Cartoons to focus and prompt analysis and discussion. Note: If you feel students need additional information on the Stamp Act, you might review the relevant material in this Library of Congress exhibition, John Bull and Uncle Sam: Four Centuries of British-American Relations .
- Discuss the two handouts once students complete them, or after collecting them, evaluating them, and returning them to students.
- Have students analyze another political cartoon about the Stamp Act, “Magna Britannia” (PDF, 323 KB) by Benjamin Franklin. Have students complete the Primary Source Analysis Tool (PDF/79KB), and then discuss the differences between “Magna Britannia” (PDF, 323 KB) and “The repeal, or the funeral of Miss Ame=Stamp.” (PDF, 863 KB). Before the students begin, select questions from the teacher’s guide Analyzing Political Cartoons to focus and prompt analysis and discussion.
- The Stamp Act was not the only legislation imposed on the American colonists by the British government. Have students explore the exhibition John Bull & Uncle Sam: Four Centuries of British-American Relations to locate another political cartoon that addresses the legislation from the perspective of the colonists. Analyze this new cartoon with the Primary Source Analysis Tool (PDF, 79 KB) . Before the students begin, select questions from the teacher’s guide Analyzing Political Cartoons to focus and prompt analysis and discussion.
