Panam Canal Political Cartoon Part 2


 
 
      The political cartoon is based on the Panama Canal as well. The message is that the U.S. went into Panama violently in order to build their canal. This is evident due to the number of weapons Roosevelt has and the shovel he will use to build the canal. Some people may say that they support this. The reason would be that there is a Panamanian man standing in front of the ship looking very excited to see Roosevelt. The cartoon shows evidence of exaggeration and symbolism. The cartoonist used exaggeration to make Roosevelt and the ship he came from look bigger and was also used when the cartoonist gave Roosevelt all those weapons. Symbolism was used for Roosevelt, the president of the U.S., and the elephant being on the ship because the elephant represents the Republicans, Roosevelt's party. The cartoon is against imperialism because the cartoon shoes the violent side of it.
