Make mine freedom

[Judge Brybe]

For my sins, I have to translate this time-honoured U.S. propaganda cartoon ‪Make Mine Freedom ~ 1948‬‏ - YouTube entitled 'Make Mine Freedom'.

Q1: The title. Why 'mine' freedom? Is it a set expression? If so, what might its origin be then?
Q2 concerns the 'Crabtree Corners' in 'cracker-barrel philosophers at Crabtree Corners'. While cracker-barrel philosophers is OK, 'crabree corners' is another pain in the arse a snag. Is it a popular appellative?

Thanx a million

One response to an invitation to a drink is 'Make mine ..."

A: I'm ordering a brandy. Would you like one?
B: Make mine a gin = Make my order an order for a gin.

The characters are turning down the offer of ISM, preferring freedom.

[Judge Brybe]

You're a genius! Thank you!

[Judge Brybe]

What about 'Crabtree Corners' though?

I guess it's just meant to sound rustic.

[Judge Brybe]

OK, I'll have to think up smth. adequate in my native language then. Many thanx!

Dr ISM's potion (the stuff in the bottle) introduces the idea of choosing a drink - but 'make mine' can be used in other contexts as well: (WARNING: non-PS example )'Some people prefer blondes or brunettes, but make mine a red-head.'
