Uncle Sam (to his new class in Civilization): Now, children, you've got to learn these lessons whether you want to or not! But just take a look at the class ahead of you, and remember that, in a little while, you will feel as glad to be here as they are!“
Blackboard: The consent of the governed is a good thing in theory, but very rare in fact. — England has governed her colonies whether they consented or not. By not waiting for their consent she has greatly advanced the world's civilization. — The U.S. must govern its new territories with or without their consent until they can govern themselves.

14. Picture 5
This political cartoon depicts a fanged ape represented as a Spaniard, standing over the grave of the U.S. soldiers murdered by Spain. This cartoon was released after the sinking of the U.S.S Maine battleship which exploded in Havana Harbor. Although the most practical reason for the accident was improperly stored gunpowder, Americans quickly blamed the misfortune on Spain as an excuse to go to war. The picture depicts an ape which symbolizes that the Spaniards were inhumane and incompetent. The ape is holding a knife that is dripping with U.S. soldiers' blood, and it is stepping on an American flag which indicates that the Spaniards disrespect our country.
*This, and material like it, were instrumental in goading the United States into the Spanish-American War.
