Panama Canal 2

This cartoon is about the Panama canal because it says Panama on the cart and the Panama Canal was in Panama. Also Roosevelt-who was a extreme supporter of the Panama Canal- is riding the cart. The cartoonist's message on this issue is that Roosevelt was going to go to extreme measures for the canal. He was very unconstitutional while trying to get the panama canal project on track. Some opinions in the US were negative because Roosevelt running over all kinds of laws to get the canal running. Other opinions in the US were positive because they thought of the canal as a way to protect America's Pacific empire. One of the techniques used by the cartoonist in this cartoon is symbolism because an elephant is running the cart and the an elephant is the republican symbol, at the time Roosevelt was the republican president at the time. Another technique used by the cartoonist was labeling, i know because the cart is labeled "Panama or Bust" and their are many hurdles labeled precedent, Colombian protest or international law. No this cartoon does not support my position on imperialism because in the article Roosevelt is ignoring all laws and just doing what he wants, and what he wants is the Panama canal to happen. The things he is doing are very unconstitutional.
