What you’re looking at

This political cartoon depicts an eagle (symbol of the United States military/imperialism) being tortured or attacked by two dark figures with wings—likely representing foreign powers or adversaries. The eagle wears "U.S. ARMY" on its body, emphasizing the American military focus. A small figure at bottom right appears to hold a document labeled "MONROE DOCTRINE," suggesting debates over American foreign policy interventions. The title "Making the Eagle Scream" suggests forcing America to cry out—implying the cartoon critiques either American military aggression abroad or foreign threats to American interests. Without a specific date visible, the exact historical context is unclear, though it likely references late 19th or early 20th-century debates over American imperialism or military interventions.
