1. Sample:
Cartoon #21
Caption: The cartoon shows President Theodore Roosevelt wearing his Rough Rider uniform and looking at the style of hats worn by past presidents U.S. Grant, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington. The hat he likes best, atop a stand labeled "Imported Hat - All the Style in Europe", is a crown labeled "Imperialism". The hat says “all the style in Europe” because by the late 1800s, European powers like Great Britain, France, Germany, and Russia were following the trend of imperialism by colonizing territories around the world. The overall message of the cartoon is to portray Theodore Roosevelt as an imperialist President who wants the United States to become an imperialist nation.
