Uncle Sam holds the hand of a female figure on a tiny island labeled “Cuba.” She is holding the flag of Cuban independence. Uncle Sam is gesturing to go home, to a ship on which is a defeated pirate wearing a crown and holding a large sword labeled “400 Years of Misrule.” The tattered flag of Spain is trailing in the water.
