We're going to revisit a blog idea we've already done this year.
For this week's blog, please Google "Progressive Era Political Cartoons" and find an interesting one. Research what the cartoon is depicting, who drew it etc and write your 200 words about it. Be sure to paste a link so I can find the cartoon myself.
This blog is first-come-first-served, so once a cartoon has been blogged about, it is off limits to the rest of the class.
For the blog I chose the progressive era political cartoon called the Anti- third term principle. I chose this because I thought that it would be very interesting to look at and learn some more information about it. The Anti third term principle political cartoon was written by a man named Clifford K. Berryman. The lovely cartoon is based off of Theodore Roosevelt's reversal of his famous anti-third term promise in the year of 1912. This political cartoon was created on October 1st 1912. The political cartoon Anti- third term principle was a part of the Berryman political cartoon collection. The political cartoon has a unique picture of President Theodore Roosevelt holding a sign that says My policies my platforms my issues on it and it also shows a picture of an interesting looking ghost man that is labeled as the Anti Third Term Principle. It shows Theodore Roosevelt dodging the mysterious figure while the figure is pointing at him. The political cartoon also has Theodore Roosevelt saying thought I dodged that. I think that this political cartoon is kind of funny because it has a silly picture of Theodore Roosevelt in a very weird outfit that looks like a golf uniform. (203 words)

I did my blog on the political carton of Teddy Roosevelt. This cartoon was called “trying to catch the colored boat”. The cartoon was drawn by Charles J Budd and was published on August 31, 1912. This cartoon is describing the way that Roosevelt was trying to gain votes from African-Americans in the time of his running. The cartoon had a drawing of theater Roosevelt putting salt on the bird so that they will come near in the birds are black CrowesThe black clothes would represent the African-Americans and Theodore Roosevelt represent himself obviously and the sugar that he was putting on to the black hose would represent him trying to gain there Black crows would represent African-Americans and theater was about represent himself obviously and the sugar that he was putting onto the black hose would represent him trying to gain there vote. Roosevelt had a very good record I’m trying to make things right with the African-Americans in the time being so this cartoon was to show that he was aiming more for their votes so he can win. According to talk talk if you put salt on a birthday LOL are you to catch this and therefore that was being used to help the cartoon state that they do Roosevelt was trying to catch the African Americans And if you put salt on a birds tail LOL are you to catch this and therefore that was being used to help the cartoon state that they don’t Roosevelt was trying to catch the African-Americans votes.

For the blog I chose the Progressive Era Political cartoons called ,, “Ohio the mother of presidents.” In 1912 former president Theodore Roosevelt challenged Taft for the Republican nomination. La Follette (other nominee) and Roosevelt lost the Republican side to Taft, which created quite a ruckus. Taft still controlled the national convention delegates. Although Taft won, the cartoon is based off of Roosevelt and Taft nagging on the “mother of Ohio”. Roosevelt took 9 out of the 12 states votes, which included Ohio. Ohio was Taft’s home state and the home state for most of the presidents. Roosevelt swept Ohio’s votes which made him feel like they controlled the people and seemed like he had an advantage. This cartoon shows Taft tugging on one arm of the “mother” of Ohio. Roosevelt is shown tugging on the other arm of the “mother” trying to prove he can steal her away. Although Roosevelt handily won the Ohio primary, he ultimately lost the Republican party nomination to Taft. Roosevelt challenged Taft and the democratic party thinking they would take the lead. Roosevelt went on to run in the general election as the nominee of the newly formed Bill Moose Party. “Ohio, the mother of presidents” continues to live on as Ohio’s nickname. (213)

For the blog I chose for this week is called, “Teddy Roosevelt and the Bears Political Cartoon.” This political cartoon was drawn and created by Brian Chen. This political cartoon shows Teddy Roosevelt being dressed as a hunter/gunslinger with a rifle in his hand stepping on a bear representing “bad trusts.” It also shows 2 other bears around him. Roosevelt looks intimidating standing over a bear but however, he doesn’t catch or kill every animal in the government or prairie. One bear is attached to a leash by Roosevelt with “good trusts” being represented by him. Teddy Roosevelt had kept more supervision on the good trusts more than the bad trusts. The third bear shows them escaping/running away with trusts and representing the corruption of trusts. This bear is showing the corrupt perpetrators that stole trusts and evaded Roosevelt's justice. The bear that’s shown under his boot is shown as dead and Roosevelt stands proudly of his kill which shows his simplicity of the corruption going on behind him. Teddy Roosevelt kept a constant overview of government funds and trusts within his presidency but he never really noticed or focused on the corruption of other trusts going on around him. (202 words)

ReplyDeleteI chose to do my political cartoon blog on child labor. Which was made by John T. McCutcheon. In 1920, the prohibition amendment came into play and then later on another social reform came in from Congress to restrict child labor. The general opinion was fully behind restricting child labor, and Congress passed the law twice to confirm it but there is a problem stating that it’s unconstitutional to the Supreme Court. With in the years 1924 and 1932 the States Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Montana and Wisconsin all ratified the amendment. In the other States the amendment was never even considered. The State Legislatures passed on child labor and generally attempted to couple the two amendments. Although, it seemed as if the child labor amendment had failed in 1932, it was brought back to life in the following year with people reviving it. With 14 of the States ratifying it. With jobs going out from children, and men and women not having jobs because of the children. They start to get angry about it and they also thought it was crazy for the kids to be working at that age anyways. The child labor amendment was much more important to the people and the Congress that the liquor amendment.(210)

There are an absolute load of political cartoons surrounding the Progressive Era of our American history. Many of these political cartoons were made by artists and people who wanted to expose something, make fun of something, or just to flat out exaggerate for publicity. The political cartoon I chose to explain is called "The Steam Roller" and it shows four women riding a steam roller and literally crushing the opposition, which in the picture is just the text "Opposition". Women all across the nation fought for centuries to gain more rights, and the progressive era was a huge time for all women. One thing that was fought for by these women, and it was eventually achieved, was suffrage. This meant that women would gain the right to vote. This picture shows that even if the progress that the women are making is slow, it is substantial, and in the future it will make a huge difference. The right to vote was viewed by many as almost a standard of equality as a citizen. Women, African Americans, and many more minorities fought for the right to vote so that they could be viewed as equal. I think that the progress made by the women in this era was fantastic, and this political cartoon displays that. (Word Count: 214)

I chose, for my political cartoon, the Pro-Suffrage cartoon, by Hy Mayer written in 1915. This political cartoon is based off of the suffrage of women back in that era and the suffrage of others. They, organizations, attempted to establish kindergartens, gender equality, prison reform, daycares, and places to help children in need. Many people overlooked these options over the right for women to vote, “culminating in the 19th Amendment”, and lastly the creation of health/ safety in the workplace. “Individuals in professional and specialized roles, such as doctors, engineers, lawyers, teachers, and progressive businessmen demanded professionalization or systematic licensing for each of their respective jobs. These groups sought to discount fraud and denounce corruption and government ineffectiveness and inefficiency. Labor unions and workers’ associations began using strikes and boycotts to draw attention to their demands, especially regarding factory conditions. Some more radical groups, such as the “Wobblies” called for a new, uncompromising social order. Furthermore, industrialization and urbanization began booming at this time, ostracizing farmers from the political scene.” (Filip, 2015)

For my blog for this week I choose to do, “Land Monopoly System: Child Labor.” In this picture shown, there are three kids being sent off to work in the factories instead of going to school. The man on the right with a cane is holding a paper saying, “Land Monopoly System and High Tariff Trust Rule.” When The Great Depression started in 1929, child labor slowly started to rise. The Child Labor Amendment allowed Congress to regulate the labor of children under the age of eighteen. Kids were sent off to work in factories in order to help their parents and family back at home. Many children ran away from home because they did not want to go work in the factories or live in that lifestyle. Many children were forced to work very long hours in dangerous conditions. For every $1 a man or father would make, the child would only make 3 cents. Many children would lose their fingers, hands, or even their whole arm or leg. Many children in the factories didn’t get education or go to school for long. Many families would send their kids to work just to make a little more money for the family and these children were out in dangerous places and situations. (210 words)

ReplyDeleteToday I chose the political cartoon called, Uncle Sam--"Bill, you'd look so much better in your own clothes." The author is unknown, it was published on June 16, 1908, a Chicago Harper's Weekly, put the Political cartoon on their weekly news. They made fun at the size of William Howard Taft, he was the presidential nominee of the Republicans. The political cartoon shows Uncle Sam who is amused to see the rotund candidate, whose weight fluctuates around 300 pounds, is the picture Taft tries to fit into President Theodore Roosevelt's Rough-Rider uniform, but he is too overweight to. This Cartoon is a serious criticism that Taft was slavishly mimicking Roosevelt's political positions in order to gain the presidency. Roosevelt gave the office to Taft which he was happy to but Roosevelt would regret doing that and later would challenge Taft by running as an independent in 1912. Taft was instinctively more conservative than his predecessor, Roosevelt had moved further and further to the left over his political career. The new rivalry would cause both men to lose to Democrat Woodrow Wilson, but Taft later fulfilled his ambition of serving as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (1921-1930).

How they’re acting and how they feel progressive cartoon was made November 5, 1912. This cartoon shows the three Presidential candidates on the eve of the contentious 1912 election. Former President Theodore Roosevelt for theProgressive (Bull Moose) Party, Woodrow Wilson for the Democratic Party, and President William Howard Taft for the Republican Party. The cartoon reveals the anxiety underneath the confident public personal each candidate projects. Wilson won the election when Roosevelt and Taft split the Republican vote. Theodore Roosevelt promises in the 1912 election that he wouldn’t run again. After his victory in the 1904 election, Theodore Roosevelt promised that although his first term had lasted only three years that he would stick to the two-term presidency. He felt that only his progressive leadership would save the Republican Party, so Roosevelt announced his entering for president. Roosevelt argued that he had only refused to run for three consecutive terms which are three runs for president in a row which was legal then. William Taft was already the president and was in the Republican party so he had to go up against Roosevelt. Woodrow Wilson was a college professor who had nothing to do with politics, but somehow got into politics and became the 28th President do the United States of America.
