Abstract

There is a prominent school of thought including a number of foreign scholars who have argued that the United States was born in blood and continues to exact a heavy price from its enemies both internal and external. Accept or reject the concept, one must come to grips with the fact that the United States was in a virtual state of war throughout the late eighteenth and most of the nineteenth century. This study will examine how political cartoonists of the age, both internally and externally, viewed American militarism. While on one hand, there was general support for American military adventures, US citizens and their commentators often treated warfare waged by others as a form of immorality. Hence, the name Visions of Violence.
