Roosevelt Corollary

This political cartoon is on The Roosevelt Corollary. The cartoonist's message on this issue is negative. It is negative because you can see that Roosevelt is marching over the Caribbean Sea and leading in a lot of boats. Another opinion that someone else might have is that America was expanding and following its idea about expansion. One technique used by the cartoonist was exaggeration because Theodore Roosevelt is not really that tall. Another technique that the cartoonist used was labeling, which is seen on the ocean which is labeled "Caribbean Sea." This cartoon does support my position on American imperialism. It supports me because I believe that Americans used too much force while trying to expand.
