# "From One Soil" - Judge Magazine, June 9, 1917 This cartoon depicts three figures representing different American populations: a Native American (left), a U.S. sailor (center), and what appears to be an immigrant or working-class figure (right). The title "From One Soil" suggests unity despite differences. Published during America's entry into World War I (April 1917), this satirical image likely comments on national unity and shared citizenship during wartime. The diverse representation—Native American, military, and civilian—emphasizes that all Americans, regardless of origin or background, belonged to one nation and shared responsibility for the war effort. The message appears patriotic rather than critical, promoting social cohesion during the national mobilization for war.
