The issue with this political cartoon is about the Panama Canal. We needed this because we needed a faster way to cross the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. The message the cartoonist is saying is that Roosevelt is taking out the people who disagree with Roosevelt's plan. He is also replacing them with the people who agree with them. What other opinions the people might say is that it is a good to take out the people who disagree with Roosevelt's plan. It takes a long time to go around the coast of South America. The techniques the cartoonist used was exaggeration. In the cartoon, it is showing that Roosevelt is huge, even though he is supposed to as tall of a human. Another technique is labeling. In the cartoon, it is showing Panama Canal to show us that it was Panama Canal. This cartoon supports anti-imperialism because it is showing that Roosevelt is powerful and greedy.
