The morning after 1913

"The Morning After" is a 1913 political cartoon by Louis Glackens that satirizes the state of American politics after the election of Woodrow Wilson. The cartoon depicts a man labeled "Wilson" in a suit, picking confetti out of his clothing, while two figures represent the issues that plagued the nation at the time. A man wearing a sombrero and labeled "Mexican Question" holds another figure labeled "The Trust Question" who is tangled in a messy pile of streamers and confetti. This cartoon, created during the Progressive Era, reflects the complex issues facing the nation at the time and serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for social and political reform.
