Warning: Spoilers
. . . of Warner Bros.' subtle World War Two Era prescriptive live-action short, MARCH ON, AMER!CA! Nearly every word of this Two-Reeler drips with Irony, as its narrator reminds viewers again and again of the USA's centuries-long Racist Campaigns to stamp out the Livelihoods, Rights, and Very Lives of all Native American and Black Peoples. Savage slave-whipping "masters" including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Madison, James Monroe, and Andrew Jackson are mentioned by name, along with slavers Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, and Louis Clark. Every few seconds during the 21 minutes of MARCH ON, AMER!CA! there are on-screen flashes of the decayed parchment showing the Deplorably Racist 1700s so-called U.S. Constitution, reminding BOTH contemporary viewers AND--in another of its trade-marked Prophetic Warner Bros. Warnings for We Americans of Today's (then) Far Future--that the Mordant Scribblings on that Moldy Scroll MUST be Repealed and Replaced by means of a Constitutional Convention. Then a NEW American Leader can declare Martial Law, Deport the vast majority of our 62 million-plus Racist Red-Commie-supporting Benedict Arnold-like Traitors, and permanently eradicate Corrupt Job-Killing Corporate Capitalism as America Marches On!
