I interpret the political cartoon as it showing the two sides of the sugar act; the ones against it and the people who support the sugar tax. The women in the picture represent the americans against the sugar tax and they are upset with paying taxes for sugar and tea. The man on the left side is representing the americans who enjoy paying taxes. It appears that he drank too much tea and his face turns red. The girls(americans who won't pay taxes) in the picture will eventually fight with "taxation without representation".
The two main people are the man and the woman. They represent Britain. The women on the right are representing the colonies. They are not drinking tea with sugar in it because they do not want to pay the tax for sugar. The man is saying, "O delicious! delicious!". And the woman is saying, "O my dear creatures, do but taste it! You can't think how nice it is without sugar. And then consider how much work you'll save the poor blackmoors by leaving off the use of it! And above all, remember how much expense it will save your poor papa! O its charming cooling drink." So what she's saying is that tea cannot be nice without sugar. It needs sugar. She's trying to convince the women that if they want tea, they NEED sugar. She also mentions that giving in to the tax will save their "poor papa" aka Britain. Britain hopes that the colonists' need for sugar will eventually make them agree.
In this picture it is telling us that the woman who does not support the sugar tax and the man who does support the sugar tax are having there own discussion. In my opinion I think the man is trying to convince the women to support him buy paying sugar taxes by drinking the tea in a happy matter. The women does not bother to listen to what ever he has to say because she is having an enjoyable time talk to her friends and also because the guy is ugly. Even though her friends look like they are discusted over the tea because of no sugar the main woman stills decides not to support the sugar tax.
The cartoon is about the sugar act. It shows that the british king is being unfair with giving a tax on sugar. The colonists (on the right) are unhappy that the king and queen get to enjoy tea with sugar for free instead of the colonists enjoying that same right. Also what is unfair is the king gives the colonists "taxation without representation" meaning the king just taxed them on sugar without giving them something in return with the tax money.
The political cartoon is representing John Bull, and I am assuming his wife, trying to convince their children to drink tea without sugar. He thinks the tea is "delicious" without sugar. Mrs. Bull is telling her children that "you cant think how nice it is without sugar," to her children. Therefor they are protesting against the sugar act. Their children however are not going for it. To me it also looks like the artist tried to make the people that are against the sugar act look more dis proportioned and ugly. Their children, whom use sugar and are for the taxes, look more normal.
In the anti-saccharites cartoon, there is a representation of the both sides of the sugar tax. The side representing Britian is on the left, enjoying what I assume to be tea with sugar. In the right is an old woman, representing the colonists and those against the sugar tax, who is drinking tea without sugar. The Britsh man implies that the sugar is delicious because he is obvioulsy trying to get the people to drink tea with sugar. He is also making fun of the fact that the only way the others can enjoy what he is having is by paying his sugar tax. The older lady announces that tea without sugar is great and all should try it. Instead of fighting against it with force the lady simply boycotts it. She sarcasticly says that it is much better without sugar and that the girls, to her left, should try it. The scenario is basicaly showing a simple colonist revolting against Brtian's sugar tax.
The political cartoon indicates both sides of the Sugar Act. The women being the ones who are against it and the man being the one who agrees with it. The woman disagrees that it is necessary to pay for sugar, while the man completely agrees with this taxation. With the looks of the women in the background, it seems as if they are not enjoying the tea at all without sugar. Because of this displeasure, they seem to be thinking that maybe it is worth it to pay for sugar because of how bad tea tastes without it. However, the lady upfront is still trying to convince them that it is good without sugar because she doesn't support the sugar tax whatsoever. The political cartoon representing British's sugar tax is directly showing us a colonist that is going against it and won't give up until she wins.
my full understanding of the political cartoon is that it has to do with the Sugar Act. In my point of view the lady doesnt agree with the point that you have to pay for sugar nor the tea. As for the man he believes that you should have to pay for the tea and sugar. As for the lady it looks like she really doesnt like taste of the tea with out sugar, maybe it has no flavor maybe it doesnt taste the same. I also feel as doe the people that are buy her also agress with her they dont like the taste of it neither. The man is the one who is fully for and is standing that there should be a price for somthing you want and like . Lastly to me maybe the lady and the people who are agaisnt it would change their train of thought and look at things in other ways.
The women and man on the left of the picture are the main people. The women on the right of the picture represent the colonies. The man says its delicious and the women says to taste it, it is quite delicious. The one women is trying to convinve the others to buy sugar because it makes the tea delicious. She convinces them to buy it because it will help the economy of Britain. This picture shows that the people of Britain would not agree to the tea tax.
This political cartoon was one of the best I've seen for this event. The artist interperts the events of the Sugar Acts here. The artist portrays the English people on the left drinking their tea with sugar and they are saying, "OOH it tastes soo good with the tea" while the ladies on the right are portrayed as the colonists who now drink their tea without sugar because of the sugar acts. The artist did a good job interperting these events from the Colonist point of view.
In this political cartoon the Sugar Act is being mocked. The woman drinking the tea is trying to persuade the others to drink as well. Since they are also British and we all know how much the British love tea it would not taste so good with out sugar. The other women are looking at her like they want to drink but are holding back because drinking would not get their point across that they don't want to be taxed on sugar. The couple seem to be noble and the nobles are always followed so the man is saying it delicious an even more persuasion to drink the tea. After all Britain their home country will be the only one benefiting from this tax. Suher Alsurakhi
In my opinion , i interpret the political cartoon as it showing the two sides of the sugar act. The women and man on the left of the picture are the main people and one of the women are trying to convinve the man to buy sugar because it makes the tea delicious. i think the women dont really like the tea even though they want to sell it to this man. She's trying to convince the man that if they want tea, they must have sugar. -Giorgi Sivsivadze
I interpret this to resemble the sugar act. The man and woman on the right are the ones who believe that they should be taxed and the ones on the right are the ones against it. Hense they are shown not drinking their tea. this is what I believe.
The illustration of the Anti-Saccharites is representing two things. Those two things are Britain and the colonists. The colonists are the ladies drinking the tea without the sugar and Britain is the man and woman who are drinking tea with sugar. My interpretation of this cartoon is that the characters who represent Britain are suggesting that tea with sugar is obviously delicious and that tea with sugar is needed. The whole idea of this cartoon is the Sugar Act and how sugar is needed. The ladies refuse to drink it with sugar just because it goes against what they believe which is being taxed. The man and woman are trying to convince these ladies that it's worth it because it is delicious.
This political cartoon shows the Sugar Act. Its showing how the man and the lady on the left is drinking there tea. They are telling the ladies on the right, saying how great it is and making them full of envy. The ladies on the right want to really drink the tea but they cant because then they will just lose against the man and woman. They don't have any sugar in there tea but the man and lady does. On the right, the ladies are representing the colonies. Most of them are sad and mad how there making them give up on not putting sugar into there tea.
The sugar act is shown in the political cartoon. The artist shows the English men on the right drinking tea with sugar in it and the ladies on the right represent the colinies because they have to drink the tea without sugar. The men are happy because they have tea with sugar in it and the women are mad because they don't have sugar in their tea.
My interpretation of this lovely political cartoon is that the man and woman are British due to their teeth and rosy cheeks. The row of women are the colonies. The Sugar Act has prevented the women from putting the tea into their drinks which symbolizes how the colonies won't buy sugar. The Brits have no troubles putting sugar into their tea because they're not getting taxed on it. It's kind of like a slap to the face with a white glove to the colonies. The women are patriotic and will not budge into putting sugar to make their tea edible and not a bitter hot mug'o'water. True independence starts with not putting sugar into your tea, and that is what I got from this political cartoon.
I think that the political cartoon is showing the two sides of the sugar act. The ones against it and the people who support the sugar tax. The women in the picture represent the americans against the sugar tax which are upset with paying taxes for sugar and tea. The man on the left side is representing the americans who agree on paying taxes for suger and tea.
The cartoon shows both sides of the sugar act. One side with the two funny looking people are for the sugar and the ones on the other side the elegant ones are against it. There trying to convince everyone to be all in for sugar. The row of women on the right look disgusted with the way the British are acting. Im all in for the Sugar!
This politcal cartoon shows us how the colonies disliked the sugar tax. The man and the woman on the right side of this cartoon are British people that are drinking their tea with sugar. The man and the woman claim that the sugar makes the tea taste delicous. The women on the right side of this cartoon are drinking their tea without the sugar. These women are representing the colonies, because the colonies do not feel like they should be paying a tax for sugar. As a result the women on the right side drink their tea without the sugar, so they don't have to pay the sugar tax.
The Cartoon is of two British citizens who are drinking tea with sugar in it. They are bragging about their tea with sugar and saying that it is not possible to enjoy tea without sugar in it. They are talking to colonists who are drinking tea w/o sugar. They are unhappy with the tea act. The British are explaining the benefits of tea with sugar and also mention that it will help papa, or Great Britain. The Colonists are disgusted with the tea tax and they are mad at the British citizens who don't have to pay this tax.
The picture shows that the rich are the only ones who are really enjoying the tea. They seem to be mocking the colonists and the lower class. The colonists are mad that they are showing off their riches, while they have plain tea. It makes them more angry knowing that they have to pay more because of the taxes on tea(tea act). But the colonists refuse to pay for it.
The political cartoon is about the sugar tax on the British people. The two on the left side of the cartoon are saying how they love their tea with sugar in it. Meanwhile the women on the right do not have sugar in their tea, so they are not liking it. The British people (which are represented by the women on the right)didn't like the tea tax. They would rather have their tea without sugar than have it and pay taxes on it.
The most important characters in the picture are the guy and the lady next to him. They represent the british. And the women next to them are the colonies. The guy and the lady are telling the other girls that the tea is really good when you drink it with sugar. They are trying to make the colonies to pay taxes. But in the other hand the girls are not drinking the tea with sugar, they are staying strong and they are saying that they better drink the tea without sugar than pay taxes. Florian Dokaj
This political cartoon is showing how the people of the colonies reacted to the Sugar Act. The two people on the left symbolize Britain and the daughters represent the colonies. As the older lady is drinking the tea she’s emphasizing the deliciousness sugar is adding to the tea. She is trying to pressure the daughters into buying sugar even though there is a tax on it. The man is agreeing to this by say “O delicious! delicious”. Together the man and the woman are saying that no matter the cost, the sugar would be worth it. By the daughters drinking the tea without the sugar, they are standing up for what they believe in. In a way they are simply trapping their own family into something that is nothing but trouble. This event was an example of “Taxation without Representation” and is one of the many causes for the Revolution.
This cartoon is about the taxes and sugar act. from my point of view the old men and the old women are enjoying the tea. The tea represent the taxes, so thats telling me that they are happy with the extra money that they are getting from the colonies. On the other side the girls are not so happy with the tea. The girls represent the colonies, with are the people that dont want to pay the taxes.
I think this political cartoon represents the sugar act.The man in the picture is John Bull a national personification of Great Britain. I think that shows that even a British man though the taxes were unjust. And he didn't allow his family to us sugar.By taking the sugar away from his family he was sending a message to the colonist that the sugar was unfair.
My interpretation on the political cartoon is based on the Sugar Act. The man on the right is John Bull and he represents Britain bringing and adding taxes on their sugar. The women next to John Bull is trying to convince the other woman, drinking tea without sugar, to buy the sugar because it tastes better and because it will help poor Papa(which is Britain). The women drinking the tea without sugar are the Americans who are sick and tired of paying taxes for sugar and are willing to drink to tea without sugar to prove their point.
In this political cartoon, the Sugar Act is represented. You can see that there are two different types of people in the cartoon, the British and the Americans. The British is the man and the, not so great looking lady on the table smiling drinking their tea with sugar. They are happy and glad because the Sugar Act is taxing the Americans and not them. The other ladies on the right represent the Americans who are drinking their tea without sugar. Their faces are not so happy and a bit upset. The Sugar Act taxed the Americans which made them extremely angry. They are trying to make a point that they're not drinking if they have taxes for their sugar. -Josh Dranto
I think this cartoon picture is a colonial times. In this picture there is this man name John Bull with his wife and friends. The wife is convincing the other womens to not drink tea without sugar. There's probably going to be more tax if you pay for sugar. The ladies in the picture they seem mad about that, and they are trying to change that. They think that the sugar might get you sick from it.
when i was looking at the political cartoon it demonstrated the sugar act. john bull and the women sitting beside him are drinking tea or what ever beverage without sugar. the rest of his family is also drinking without sugar in their drink. john bull is saying the drink is delicious and the women next to him is agreeing with the fact that the drink taste better without the sugar. the rest of the family know that is not true. the drink taste horrible. john bull is trying to get there attention that the drink does not taste good without the sugar. so eventually from him doing that they are going to have to buy sugar even though it is being taxed.
I believe that this has something to do with the sugar act. The Royal Pair setting an example of economy.they don't want to be taxed on sugar.Plus John Bull is trying to say that o its delicious to everyone.And if you read what the woman is saying she is trying to persuade the others to drink as well.
So analyzing the picture I have concluded that the man and woman sitting on the left are portraying England.The prim and proper women on the right stand for the colonists. This picture, as drawn by the artist, depicts the contraversy that arose during the Stamp Act. It shows the jolly English repulsively drinking their sugar filled tea, while boasting of the delicousness they get to drink. The Americans are shown with more class drinking sugarless tea. The colonists do not agree with the sugar tax imposed on them by the English. They refuse to purchase the sugar, and the picture shows them valiantly drinking their flavorless tea. -Paola =)
In this picture, the man on the right is supposed to be John Bull. He is representing Britain taxing their exported sugar. The women sitting next to John Bull is trying to convince the other women that are drinking tea without sugar, to buy the sugar. They are drinking the tea without sugar because they are sick of paying taxes for it. So, they are basically just drinking the tea still just to prove a point. Overall, my interpretation of this political cartoon is that the Sugar Act is represented in a humorous way. Also, you can see that there are two different types of people in this picture, the Americans and the British. The man and the women sitting next to each other are British and they look happy in the picture because the Sugar Act is taxing the Americans only. The other ladies represent the Americans and they look upset because they are being taxed for sugar.
The in this funny cartoon picture it shows both sides of the sugar act. The two people are on the sugar act side and the others that are supposed to be the Americans are agianst the sugar. The people are trying to get everyone to be with the sugar act, and not against it. The other people look really annoyed how the British been acting. They dont want to pay taxes with this sugar act.
Anti-Saccharites obviously means "against sugar or without sugar". The two people drinking their sugared tea are representing Britain. The women next to them are representing the colonies. The two with sugar are obviously boasting about their sweet tea and how they are supporting the Sugar Act. The Americans, however, are still willing to drink their tea, even though it is bitter. This shows that they(Americans) will not give in to the British.
This Political cartoon represents the struggle against the Britsh's taxes, including sugar. Anti-Saccharites must mean against sugar. The hideous monsters to the left symbolize the British and the women to the right represent the colonists. While the Brits sip their sweet tea happily, the colonists seem content with drinking their sugarless beverage. Clearly, if the British are so zealous about their taxes, the Colonists refuse to have any of it and happily drink their 'all-American bitter tea'.
Andrew Casano (I posted last night. It didnt get through I suppose)
I think that the man on the right and the woman or the British charging taxes against the colonists. The girls on the left are the colonists and they don't pay taxes so they don't get sugar for their tea. The British are throwing it in the colonists face by saying Try the Tea. The girls will fight back against the taxes.
the man and the woman in the picture are enjoying their tea with out the sugar. They are bribbing the woman on the right to taste it , but the group of women are rebelling against it, refusing to drink brit's tea. The women give the man and his wife disgusted looks as they watch them gracefully drink away at their tea. They will not go down and will continue to fight . Jennifer Wanco
In this picture you can see that the woman and men are drinking the Tea. They represent Great Britain.You can see that they are happy the you have to pay taxes. The women on the right are not drinking the tea with that much happiness.They represent the Colonies.You can tell that they are against the Sugar Tax. Also the colonist are really not enjoying the the Tea because it doesn't have sugar. In conclusion what this picture represents is the Sugar Act.
In this picture it shows that the British drank their tea it's nothing because everyone else where taxed. They are basically laughing at them saying we can have as much tea as we want and we're just gonna make you pay for it because you like it so much. I think the people on the left are Brits while all the other women on the right are colonists and the women have no sugar for their tea so it tastes bad. I also think the women are giving bad looks to the Brits is because they don't like the Brits.
In the picture, two sides of a great dillema are being represented. The two people drinking the tea and giddy with pep (and sugar). They seem to be proud that they have such a rariety. While the girls in the back seem to have fear and disgust amoungst their faces. I think the two with smiles on there faces have sugar in the sweet tea. Happy because they have something that others don't and because it is quite delicious. They're trying to convince the girls to quite literally swallow their pride and join them. Knowing the two are wrong, the girls must obey them. Left with the guilt all to themselves.
This political cartoon relates to the sugar taxes by Britain and it tries to persuade the people to reject the taxes. The man in the picture think that the tea is delicious and fully supports the tax. The lady on the other hand tries to convince them not to by the tea by saying, "O my dear creatures, do but taste it! You can't think how nice it is without sugar. And then consider how much work you'll save the poor black moors by leaving off the use of it! And above all, remember how much expense it will save your poor papa! O its charming cooling drink." What she is trying to say is that the tea is good without sugar and not buying sugar will help the slaves and their own family. The little girls on the right are disguised at not being able to buy sugar for the tea. M.Ahmad

After all Britain their home country will be the only one benefiting from this tax.

On the right, the ladies are representing the colonies. Most of them are sad and mad how there making them give up on not putting sugar into there tea.

The sugar act is shown in the political cartoon. The artist shows the English men on the right drinking tea with sugar in it and the ladies on the right represent the colinies because they have to drink the tea without sugar. The men are happy because they have tea with sugar in it and the women are mad because they don't have sugar in their tea.

The political cartoon is about the sugar tax on the British people. The two on the left side of the cartoon are saying how they love their tea with sugar in it. Meanwhile the women on the right do not have sugar in their tea, so they are not liking it. The British people (which are represented by the women on the right)didn't like the tea tax. They would rather have their tea without sugar than have it and pay taxes on it.
The most important characters in the picture are the guy and the lady next to him. They represent the british. And the women next to them are the colonies. The guy and the lady are telling the other girls that the tea is really good when you drink it with sugar. They are trying to make the colonies to pay taxes. But in the other hand the girls are not drinking the tea with sugar, they are staying strong and they are saying that they better drink the tea without sugar than pay taxes.

This political cartoon is showing how the people of the colonies reacted to the Sugar Act. The two people on the left symbolize Britain and the daughters represent the colonies. As the older lady is drinking the tea she’s emphasizing the deliciousness sugar is adding to the tea. She is trying to pressure the daughters into buying sugar even though there is a tax on it. The man is agreeing to this by say “O delicious! delicious”. Together the man and the woman are saying that no matter the cost, the sugar would be worth it. By the daughters drinking the tea without the sugar, they are standing up for what they believe in. In a way they are simply trapping their own family into something that is nothing but trouble. This event was an example of “Taxation without Representation” and is one of the many causes for the Revolution.

This cartoon is about the taxes and sugar act. from my point of view the old men and the old women are enjoying the tea. The tea represent the taxes, so thats telling me that they are happy with the extra money that they are getting from the colonies. On the other side the girls are not so happy with the tea. The girls represent the colonies, with are the people that dont want to pay the taxes.
I think this political cartoon represents the sugar act.The man in the picture is John Bull a national personification of Great Britain. I think that shows that even a British man though the taxes were unjust. And he didn't allow his family to us sugar.By taking the sugar away from his family he was sending a message to the colonist that the sugar was unfair.

My interpretation on the political cartoon is based on the Sugar Act. The man on the right is John Bull and he represents Britain bringing and adding taxes on their sugar. The women next to John Bull is trying to convince the other woman, drinking tea without sugar, to buy the sugar because it tastes better and because it will help poor Papa(which is Britain). The women drinking the tea without sugar are the Americans who are sick and tired of paying taxes for sugar and are willing to drink to tea without sugar to prove their point.

In this political cartoon, the Sugar Act is represented. You can see that there are two different types of people in the cartoon, the British and the Americans. The British is the man and the, not so great looking lady on the table smiling drinking their tea with sugar. They are happy and glad because the Sugar Act is taxing the Americans and not them. The other ladies on the right represent the Americans who are drinking their tea without sugar. Their faces are not so happy and a bit upset. The Sugar Act taxed the Americans which made them extremely angry. They are trying to make a point that they're not drinking if they have taxes for their sugar.

I think this cartoon picture is a colonial times. In this picture there is this man name John Bull with his wife and friends. The wife is convincing the other womens to not drink tea without sugar. There's probably going to be more tax if you pay for sugar. The ladies in the picture they seem mad about that, and they are trying to change that. They think that the sugar might get you sick from it.

when i was looking at the political cartoon it demonstrated the sugar act. john bull and the women sitting beside him are drinking tea or what ever beverage without sugar. the rest of his family is also drinking without sugar in their drink. john bull is saying the drink is delicious and the women next to him is agreeing with the fact that the drink taste better without the sugar. the rest of the family know that is not true. the drink taste horrible. john bull is trying to get there attention that the drink does not taste good without the sugar. so eventually from him doing that they are going to have to buy sugar even though it is being taxed.

I believe that this has something to do with the sugar act. The Royal Pair setting an example of economy.they don't want to be taxed on sugar.Plus John Bull is trying to say that o its delicious to everyone.And if you read what the woman is saying she is trying to persuade the others to drink as well.

So analyzing the picture I have concluded that the man and woman sitting on the left are portraying England.The prim and proper women on the right stand for the colonists. This picture, as drawn by the artist, depicts the contraversy that arose during the Stamp Act. It shows the jolly English repulsively drinking their sugar filled tea, while boasting of the delicousness they get to drink. The Americans are shown with more class drinking sugarless tea. The colonists do not agree with the sugar tax imposed on them by the English. They refuse to purchase the sugar, and the picture shows them valiantly drinking their flavorless tea.

In this picture, the man on the right is supposed to be John Bull. He is representing Britain taxing their exported sugar. The women sitting next to John Bull is trying to convince the other women that are drinking tea without sugar, to buy the sugar. They are drinking the tea without sugar because they are sick of paying taxes for it. So, they are basically just drinking the tea still just to prove a point. Overall, my interpretation of this political cartoon is that the Sugar Act is represented in a humorous way. Also, you can see that there are two different types of people in this picture, the Americans and the British. The man and the women sitting next to each other are British and they look happy in the picture because the Sugar Act is taxing the Americans only. The other ladies represent the Americans and they look upset because they are being taxed for sugar.
The in this funny cartoon picture it shows both sides of the sugar act. The two people are on the sugar act side and the others that are supposed to be the Americans are agianst the sugar. The people are trying to get everyone to be with the sugar act, and not against it. The other people look really annoyed how the British been acting. They dont want to pay taxes with this sugar act.
Anti-Saccharites obviously means "against sugar or without sugar". The two people drinking their sugared tea are representing Britain. The women next to them are representing the colonies. The two with sugar are obviously boasting about their sweet tea and how they are supporting the Sugar Act. The Americans, however, are still willing to drink their tea, even though it is bitter. This shows that they(Americans) will not give in to the British.

This Political cartoon represents the struggle against the Britsh's taxes, including sugar. Anti-Saccharites must mean against sugar. The hideous monsters to the left symbolize the British and the women to the right represent the colonists. While the Brits sip their sweet tea happily, the colonists seem content with drinking their sugarless beverage. Clearly, if the British are so zealous about their taxes, the Colonists refuse to have any of it and happily drink their 'all-American bitter tea'.
Andrew Casano (I posted last night. It didnt get through I suppose)
I think that the man on the right and the woman or the British charging taxes against the colonists. The girls on the left are the colonists and they don't pay taxes so they don't get sugar for their tea. The British are throwing it in the colonists face by saying Try the Tea. The girls will fight back against the taxes.

the man and the woman in the picture are enjoying their tea with out the sugar. They are bribbing the woman on the right to taste it , but the group of women are rebelling against it, refusing to drink brit's tea. The women give the man and his wife disgusted looks as they watch them gracefully drink away at their tea. They will not go down and will continue to fight .

In this picture you can see that the woman and men are drinking the Tea. They represent Great Britain.You can see that they are happy the you have to pay taxes. The women on the right are not drinking the tea with that much happiness.They represent the Colonies.You can tell that they are against the Sugar Tax. Also the colonist are really not enjoying the the Tea because it doesn't have sugar. In conclusion what this picture represents is the Sugar Act.

In this picture it shows that the British drank their tea it's nothing because everyone else where taxed. They are basically laughing at them saying we can have as much tea as we want and we're just gonna make you pay for it because you like it so much. I think the people on the left are Brits while all the other women on the right are colonists and the women have no sugar for their tea so it tastes bad. I also think the women are giving bad looks to the Brits is because they don't like the Brits.

In the picture, two sides of a great dillema are being represented. The two people drinking the tea and giddy with pep (and sugar). They seem to be proud that they have such a rariety. While the girls in the back seem to have fear and disgust amoungst their faces. I think the two with smiles on there faces have sugar in the sweet tea. Happy because they have something that others don't and because it is quite delicious. They're trying to convince the girls to quite literally swallow their pride and join them. Knowing the two are wrong, the girls must obey them. Left with the guilt all to themselves.

This political cartoon relates to the sugar taxes by Britain and it tries to persuade the people to reject the taxes. The man in the picture think that the tea is delicious and fully supports the tax. The lady on the other hand tries to convince them not to by the tea by saying, "O my dear creatures, do but taste it! You can't think how nice it is without sugar. And then consider how much work you'll save the poor black moors by leaving off the use of it! And above all, remember how much expense it will save your poor papa! O its charming cooling drink." What she is trying to say is that the tea is good without sugar and not buying sugar will help the slaves and their own family. The little girls on the right are disguised at not being able to buy sugar for the tea.
