Hands off!

This cartoon is about the Roosevelt Corollary. It exaggerates that Europe nations can not come over to our side of the hemisphere. The cartoonist is trying to say that the U.S. passed the Monroe Doctrine not as a joke. The European nations continued to come over to the western hemisphere. There are not many reasons to think differently from this cartoon's anti-imperialist appeal. There aren't many claims you can make against this cartoon's appeal, Roosevelt is pointing a gigantic canon at this man's face. Exaggeration is used in this cartoon because Roosevelt has a giant canon that says Monroe Doctrine on it, and he is pointing it at this European's face. Labeling is also used a bit in this cartoon, the canon represents the Monroe Doctrine and the European man is holding an envelope that says "claims" on it. This cartoon is anti- imperialism because it shows how far the U.S. is going to keep Europe out of their business. The U.S. is basically stopping Europe from interfering with the problems in the Americas, just to do that themselves.
