This cartoon is about how the United States guarded South America from any European countries. This also meant that the United States could intervene at any point of time if the country was having problems. The cartoonist used people in this cartoon to symbolize other countries. The cartoonist also labeled the countries in this cartoon. This cartoon does not support my side of imperialism. I think that we should expand and I feel that the Roosevelt corollary limited our reach to European countries.
American Imperialism

Open Door Policy # 1
Roosevelt Corollary #1
the Annexation Of Hawaii #2
This cartoon shows that do United States wanted to grow and be in an influence everywhere. The cartoon shows the face of the United States trying to expand. In the cartoon the artist over exaggerates the size of America’s face. The artist also labels that the face is of the United States and it's for my, mine, and, me. This cartoon does support my stance on imperialism. I think that we should expand even if it means we need to fight if you battles. This cartoon is about how President Roosevelt invade panama using the Roosevelt corollary. President Roosevelt has shovels, knives, and guns all over his clothing which means that he will be invading forcefully. This cartoon represents President Roosevelt negatively. President Roosevelt is exaggerated size where he is usually small. The cartoonist also labels the board and walk the Roosevelt doctrine. This political cartoon supports my side on imperialism. I think that we expand although it may mean that the United States my need to fight a few battles.
Annexation of Hawaii
This cartoon takes place in the late 1890s, the United States was determining whether to annex Hawaii and other territories. The concept of manifest destiny, or America's expansion through colonization is shown in this cartoon. Some cartoons would draw the United States as Uncle Sam and the territories considered for annexation as children, as if the United States was their parents. In this cartoon the cartoonist is exaggerating the queen. The queen's face is disordered and funny; I think that the cartoonist is telling us that the Hawaii's queen was a clown. The cartoonist is also using Uncle Sam to symbolize the United States. This political cartoon does support my stance on imperialism. I do think that we should expand and although there will be a few battles it will be worth it in the end.
