The United States of America wanted more territory do they overthrew the queen of Hawaii. Hawaii was then annexed by the United States. The cartoonist is showing how Uncle Sam seems to be greater than Queen Liliuokalani. It also shows that the U.S. was seeking for money because of the sugar plantations in Hawaii. The techniques used are labeling and exaggeration. This cartoon supports my position because the United States is only looking for ways to gather more materials.
