Halt! The Spirit of General Henry Ware Lawton Orders William Jennings Bryan to Cease and Desist from Tearing Down American Flags in Cuba and the Philippines, 1900 November 7 This powerful and evocative illustration, published in Puck magazine on November 7, 1900, captures a pivotal moment in the heated debates surrounding America's expanding imperial reach at the turn of the 20th century. The illustration depicts Democratic Party nominee William Jennings Bryan attempting to tear down an American flag in the Philippines, while the ghostly figure of General Henry Ware Lawton, who was killed in action during the Philippine-American War, orders him to halt. The American flag in the Philippines is prominently displayed, its stripes labeled with the values of Honor, Patriotism, Commercial Progress, National Dignity, Glory, Duty to Humanity, and National Self-Respect. Bryan's actions are seen as a threat to these very values, as the United States struggled to assert its dominance in the region and justify its military intervention. The illustration reflects the intense political and moral debates of the time, as Americans grappled with the implications of imperial expansion and the role of the United States on the world stage. The image of Lawton, a hero of the American Civil War and the Philippine-American War, adds an additional layer of symbolism, as he embodies the ideals of duty, honor, and sacrifice that were central to the American identity. This and historically significant illustration offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American history, and serves as a reminder of the complex and often contentious debates that have shaped the country's foreign policy throughout the centuries.
