Summary

Description

Political Cartoon on Canadian-American relations from 1886. Canada explains to Britannia that she has no desire for union with the United States.

Mrs. Britannia.—“Is it possible, my dear, that you have ever given your cousin Jonathan any encouragement?”
Miss Canada.—“Encouragement! Certainly not, Mamma. I have told him that we can never be united.”
Note that the depiction of the United States largely matched what was becoming the standard "Uncle Sam" personification, but is referred to by the older name (Brother) Jonathan.
