The political cartoon drawn by a popular artists, Keppler, in the news article Puck depicts the oversized view of the monopolists in the post Civil War senate. The monopolists are shown to be these large and over bearing men surrounding the senate. The size of the monopolists in the picture show both the power of the monopolies as well as the intimidation that they had over the smaller shown senators. The influence that these monopolies had over the senate where a very important part of the life of all Americans during this time period. The senate was becoming this sort of millionaires club that helped to further spread the influence that the monopolies had over the United States as a whole. Above the bloated figures of the monopolists you will see a corrupt quote that has been changed from the quote found in the Gettysburg Address to, “This Senate of the monopolists, by the monopolists, and for the monopolists.” This quote shows how the view of the United States as a fair and equal has been changed by the influence that the monopolies have had on the senate. Another thing that you will find in the cartoon that is very important to it’s interpretation can be found in the upper left hand corner. There is a door where the people would be able to come into the senate and watch the preceding, however, in the cartoon it is closed off. This shows how the people of the United States have lost their right and power to say what they felt about the senate. With the doors closed off to the public the senate as been transformed into a house of monopolists, changing the government for their personal benefits. does not reflect APPARTS
APC -- "Blow Over -- Let Us Prey"
Thomas Nast’s first tangible benefit from Greeley’s Union Square speech of June 12, 1871, was an irresistible notion that he would store for use three months later. Greeley had derided the “carpetbag” Northerners who went South after the war as “long-faced and greatly serious characters looking for the salvation of souls, and whose motto is ‘let us pray.’ But they always spell the pray with an e, and they always obey the apostolic injunction to pray unceasingly." Nast applied Greeley’s observation to four key Tweed Ring figures, Peter Sweeny, William “Boss” Tweed, Richard Connolly, and Oakey Hall—who the cartoonist transformed into vultures. The Tweed Ring of Tammany Hall, the principal Democratic political machine in New York City, used extortion, kickbacks, and other malfeasance to pocket millions from the city and county treasuries. Their downfall began when disgruntled ex-Tammanyites provided The New York Timeswith information for a series of exposés beginning in July 1871. Harper’s Weeklyand other reform-minded newspapers added their own anti-ring commentaries. Nast had been assailing the Tammany Ring for years through his creative and powerful images, but intensified his assault in the summer and fall of 1871. does not reflect APPARTS
NMD-The Worship of the Golden Calf
This political cartoon was drawn by Joseph Keppler for the newspaper, the Puck Press during the Grant presidency. The purpose of this cartoon is rather straight forward. It depicts the Republicans in the situation of the Israelites in the Book of Exodus in defying Moses and the Ten Commandments and worshiping the golden calf, or President Grant. The reason many Democrats began to view Grant this way was because his legendary service in the War of Southern Secession and relationship of Lincoln, the hero of the Republicans, elevated Grant to the status of demigod amongst the Grand Old Party. However, the fact he is the golden calf not only because of his mythical status, but also that he does not have much supporting his political reputation. The Republicans in this cartoon are represented as the gullible Israelites, blindly following their false god. There is even in the picture a cherubim carrying the Ten Commandments, on which say "Thou shall not seek a third term." The overall purpose of this cartoon is to not only insult Grant's status as an extremely respected president, but also to insult the Republicans for treating a politician like a god when he does not even deserve to be respected. This political cartoon is very effective at getting its message across because it requires very little explanation. The fact that the image of the Israelites worshiping the golden idol is so culturally recognizable is that it makes the political cartoon that much more powerful it is because of how much recognition comes with it. does not reflect APPARTS
SLW-- HarpWeek: "A Sudden Awakening"
This political cartoon, created by William A. Rogers in 1901, signifies the rise of corporate America and the reaction of European nations when they realized that the increase of American innovation, technology, and business ventures had elevated America to the status of a prosperous world power. In the cartoon, the man sitting in the bed is John Bull, who is a national symbol of Great Britain in many political cartoons. He and his fellow Europeans are “awoken from their sleep” and are stunned by what appears to be an American fire-breathing dragon. The dragon is composed of a train-engine head, an American steel body, and limbs of other mass-produced technologies in America. This represents the establishment of a mega-corporation, a new business form, in America from the predominant previous business forms in America: sole proprietorships and partnerships. The mega-corporation, U.S. Steel Corporation, was founded when J.P. Morgan bought Andrew Carnegie’s successful steel company and consolidated it with other steel corporations to form one giant mega-corporation. It became a signal to foreign nations of the economic success in America. Andrew Carnegie used vertical integration to fuel the success of steel production in America. He integrated the industry by buying out all of the companies that were needed to produce the steel. This eliminated the need to acquire capital that would otherwise be used to pay the middlemen in the industry. Railroads, ships, bridges, buildings, and many other goods flourished in response to the vast expansion of steel production in America. European powers rightfully looked at America and its prosperity in the steel industry with astonishment because the United States had surpassed British steel production. American wealth and prosperity was something that European nations had been reluctant to acknowledge. This cartoon was intended to show American citizens their position in relation to other world powers and the growing impact that mega-corporations were playing in the American economy. This cartoon also caught the attention of European nations, showing them just how prosperous America's economy was becoming in the Gilded Age and how it was force to be reckoned with. In result, these nations were probably encouraged to re-examine their own business forms as well to compete with America.
Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant; April 27, 1822 – July 23, 1885) was the 18th President of the United States (1869–1877) following his dominant role in the second half of the Civil War. Under Grant, the Union Army defeated the Confederate military and effectively ended the war with the surrender of Robert E. Lee's army at Appomattox. As President he led the Radical Republicans in their effort to eliminate all vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery; he effectively destroyed the Ku Klux Klan in 1871. His reputation was marred by his repeated defense of corrupt appointees, and by the deep economic depression (called the "Panic of 1873") that dominated his second term. Although his Republican Party split in 1872 with reformers denouncing him, Grant was easily reelected. By 1874 the opposition was gaining strength and as he left the White House in March 1877, conservative white southerners regained control of every state in the South and Reconstruction ended on a note of failure as the civil rights of blacks were not secure. .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_S._Grant
