The issue with this political cartoon is about the Roosevelt Corollary. It basically made us the policemen of Latin America. The message the cartoonist is saying is that Roosevelt is a policeman scouting the Western Hemisphere. What other opinions people might say is that we do not have to protect the Western Hemisphere. The Western Hemisphere can probably protect themselves, but we could only protect few like Cuba. The techniques the cartoonist used is labeling. In the cartoon, it is showing us the Caribbean Sea, telling us what ocean he is marching on. Another technique is exaggeration. In the cartoon, it is showing us that Roosevelt is huge, telling us that he is powerful. This supports anti-imperialism because it is basically showing that he owns the Western Hemisphere.
