The political cartoons issue is on the topic of the panama canal. I know this because the cartoonist labeled the box Panama Canal Project. the cartoonists message on the issue is that the republicans were being forced to carry Roosevelt's project. the cartoonist shows that President Roosevelt is pushing the republicans and the project is literally on their back. Another opinion someone might have about the cartoon is that the republicans were with the President and that he wasn't pushing them into the Project. Also in the cartoon the elephant/republicans seems sad. However another opinion might be that the republicans were happy to help the president. The cartoonist used exaggeration. The President is very short compared to uncle Sam and the other characters. Also the cartoonist used symbolism. The elephant represents the republicans. This cartoon supports my position on imperialism by showing that expanding Americans territory has to be forced. Much of the territory we got was from other countries.
