July 4th, 1901: Celebrating New Found Freedom and Expansion This illustration from the July 3, 1901 issue of Puck magazine commemorates the July 4th holiday with a unique representation of American freedom and expansion. The image showcases a grand fireworks display spelling out the word "Freedom," with an eagle forming the great seal of the United States in the background. The eagle, with outstretched wings, hovers protectively over a bird's nest filled with four chicks, symbolizing the newly acquired territories of the Philippines, Cuba, Hawaii, and Porto Rico. The year 1901 marked a significant period in American history, as the United States continued to expand its territorial reach through various acquisitions and annexations. The annexation of Hawaii in 1898, the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, and the subsequent acquisition of the Philippines, Cuba, and Porto Rico through the Treaty of Paris in 1898, were major milestones during this time. This illustration encapsulates the spirit of the Fourth of July, representing the continuation of American freedom and the expansion of its influence. The eagle, a symbol of the United States, stands as a guardian of the new territories, ensuring their protection and growth under the American flag. The fireworks, a traditional symbol of the Fourth of July, add to the celebration of this momentous occasion in American history.
