Images as Primary Sources
Like all primary sources, images need to be carefully read and interpreted. You may not be able to give exact answers, but you should still try. Here's the procedure I recommend you follow as you study the image:
1. Source. Develop a basic description. What do you see?
2. Observe. Does anything about this image immediately jump out at you? If so, what?
3. Contextualize. Do you see anything that reminds you of something you've seen before or learned in class? If so, what? Can you hypothesize (guess) anything about this image just by looking at it?
4. Corroborate. What questions do you still have about this image?
Your Assignment
In essay format, answer the following questions:
1. On the far right of the image is a character named "Brother Jonathan." Does he remind you of any other emblems or characters associated with American history? If so, who?
2. All the figures on the left of the image are dressed as Catholic clergy. What are they saying and doing in this image? How does that relate to larger events and debates in America in 1819?
3. Why is there a youth labeled "Young America" in this image? Who do you think he represents? Why?
4. If you had been reading a newspaper in 1819 and came across this image, what would you have thought about it? Why? Again, be as specific as possible. The more specific you are the higher grade you will earn
