This political cartoon is about the Roosevelt Corollary. The cartoonists message is that Roosevelt is like a tyrant to the people of Panama. Some might view this cartoon as portraying Panamanians as weak compared to Roosevelt. One of the techniques used in this cartoon is exaggeration. Roosevelt is drawn much bigger and with giant dangerous weapons to make him seem powerful. The cartoonist also uses symbolism symbolism by making the ship the symbol of the Democratic Party. This cartoon shows imperialism because it shows America spreading influence and power.
