This political cartoon is about the Roosevelt Corollary. The cartoonist's message is negative because you can see that Roosevelt is aiming a canon at Europe's King. Is is also shown that a little guy in the Republic of Santo Domingo is moaning and looking very annoyed with all the arguing and fighting going on between America and the US. Another opinion that someone else might have is that it was positive because Teddy was protecting the US and doing America good. A technique that that the cartoonist used in this cartoon is labeling, which is seen on Roosevelt's canon and it says "Monroe Doctrine." Also, another technique that the cartoonist used was symbolism, which is The king, which represents Britain and the king is holding paper that says "claims." Ti cartoon supports my stand on American imperialism because it shows that America, or President Roosevelt, used too much force, strength, and power.
