Analysis:
This cartoon is about the Panama Canal. The cartoonist's message is that the President is this big bad guy and that he is coming in to not only build the Panama Canal but to take control of the place. I could imagine other people thinking that he was just there to build the canal but I think he was there to build the canal yes, but I dont think that was his only goal. The cartoonist used exaggeration and labeling as some of his persuasive methods.
Exaggeration was used because President Roosevelt was not that big and didn't have that many weapons on him physically. Labeling was used because the floor had Panama written on the sand and that showed us where this cartoon was taking place. This cartoon supports my position on American Imperialism because it shows that, if needed, President Roosevelt would of used violence to get what he wants.
