Title: Keep the flag afloat
Creator(s): Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist
Date Created/Published: 1917 March.
Summary: World War I cartoon shows Uncle Sam sitting on the shore watching a large flotilla of ships, all flying the American flag, sail away. At the end of January 1917, the German government announced that it would begin a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare on all ships sailing to the British Isles. In March, the Germans began sinking American ships. This violation of the principle of Freedom of the Seas finally led President Wilson to ask Congress to declare war on Germany.
