An political cartoon, also known as an editorial
cartoon, is an illustration or comic strip
containing a political or social message. Political
cartoons can usually be found on the editorial
page of most newspapers
Over the years, certain common metaphors and symbols
have been repeatedly used by many different cartoonists.
Examples include the use of Uncle Sam to represent the
United States, a lion to represent the United Kingdom, a
bear to represent Russia, or a dragon to represent China.
Offensive? Political cartoons stir up
a wide range of emotions
Controversial or Bias
• Often political cartoons are a form of propaganda
portraying the artists point of view (bias) so they
are usually one sided.
• Depending on the publication they may lean to the
right (Republican) or to the left (Democratic)
• Learn to recognize bias in any publication by
researching both sides of the story
• Propaganda, including political cartoons, are often
meant to appeal to the heart and mind

IMMIGRANTS:
THE WAVES:
LOCATION:
“Who”: These people who came
through the Island, European and
Caribbean people who wanted a
better like. Germans came and
British, Irish, Scandinavian, later
people from Italy, Russia and
Poland. Some were poor, some
rich.
“When”: The waves of
immigration from Ellis Island.
They were from northern
and western Europe, mainly
between 1849 and 1920…
About 25 million people
immigrated to the USA.
“Where”: Ellis Island is
located in the New York
Harbor. Is was built in
1842 from a building
known as the Castle
Garden- an old military
structure. For many it is
the Statue of Liberty
that was their first
glimpse of America.
Many Immigrants went
to the big cities to find
Jobs in cheap labor.
THE TRIP:
Immigration
“How”: The trip was a long journey with
uncomfortable conditions. Steerage was the class
that most traveled in because it was inexpensive.
The trip was crowded and took up to 3 months.
This is a Bexample
REASONS:
“Why”: Most immigrants left
their native countries for very
important reasons. Some left
to escape religious
persecution, famine, political
corruption, bad economy, etc.
Some left just to get a better
chance here in America.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This event changed the US immensely. Most
current Americans have a friend or
acquaintance who’s an immigrant. 40% of
Americans can trace their families to Ellis
Island alone. It has created our cultural
melting pot of America and shaped our diverse
nation.
