Panama Canal Political Cartoon Analysis

The issue that is present in this political cartoon is if Roosevelt can pull off one of the greatest construction projects. I can see that because they are struggling and it says “Too big for them”. The author’s message is that Roosevelt cannot pull of the stunt. I say this because it says it is too big for them. Other people will probability say that he cannot do it in his presidency term. The author uses exaggeration. I know this because Roosevelt was not the one to actually dig the Panama Canal. This supports my opinion on American imperialism because we not have the Panama Canal today if the U.S. did not want to expand its territory and influence.
