Thomas Jefferson believed in a strict construction of the Constitution -- following the Constitution exactly as written. However, when he became president, he had the opportunity to add land to the US from Spain in what is now western Florida, and most famously, add the Louisiana Territory from France. As you can imagine, his purchases of land from foreign governments, which were not one of the powers of the presidency, were very controversial. The
political cartoon below is an example of one person's opinion of Jefferson's policies.

Napoleon stinging Thomas means that there must be a problem between them
Thomas Jefferson vomiting coins probably that he is waisting money
the main idea is that he is waisting money on florida when it might be a trick

2. The dog represents Thomas Jefferson throwing up money, to get what the puppet has in its hands :the maps of florida which can also represent a trick . The stinging bee is behind the dog to represent back stabbing from the french.
3. The cartoonist is trying to say that Thomas Jefferson is a dog who just throws money away for unnecessary things , doing any wrong action can sting/affect him real bad.

Lidia A. Brandon C. Per.6:)
IN THIS PICTURE THERE IS A VERY NEGATIVE FIELD TO THOMAS JEFFERSON BECAUSE HIS WHOLE PICTURE IS PRETTY MUCH HAVING A HORRIBLE SAYING O HIM. THE IMAGE SHOWS A SPANISH GOVERNOR HOLDING UP TO DIFFERENT FLAGS WITH FLORIDA. THOMAS IS THROWING UP IN THE PICTURE AND HIS WHOLE BODY IS THE SHAPE OR AS A PRAIRE DOG. I THINK THE MAIN IDEA FOR THIS WHOLE POLITICAL CARTOON IS THAT THOMAS JEFFERSON WAS A JERK A SELFISH JERK WHO ONLY CARED ABOUT HIMSELF.

Period 6 Katherine L. and Yulisa M.
The cartoonists uses a hornet to represent the french. He uses the prairie dog to represent Thomas Jefferson. The puppet or the person is used to show that the guy is showing two maps of Louisiana. I also see the hornet which is the french and its showing that the french is doing bad, is betraying and showing Thomas Jefferson bad things. This political cartoon shows that everyone around him is showing Thomas Jefferson the wrong way to lead the country. I know this because it shows the hornet stinging the prairie dog and this means that he is being betrayed and tricked into running the country the wrong way and not following the Constitution.

Armando m.
1) I see Thomas Jefferson in a form of a dog and the french in the form of a hornet.I also see a man with two maps of Florida. The dog is throwing up coins.
2) The hornet means that french fight back. Thomas Jefferson is throwing up coins witch means that he liked to just throw away money. The man dancing is a man being cartoon is that their are two country that are taking away the us land.
This is a political cartoon from just after Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory from France, and he was trying to purchase Florida from Spain.
The cartoon shows Napoleon, the French leader, "stinging" Jefferson. When someone makes a deal and gets stung, it means that they made a really bad deal. Now the Spanish diplomat seems to be trying to fool Jefferson as well, by dancing around, which makes the facts confused, and holding maps of Florida.
According to the cartoonist, Jefferson doesn't understand he's being tricked, and keeps wasting money on these land deals. The caption at the bottom re-states the main ideas, as Jefferons is stung by the French "hornet" and deceived by the diplomatic "puppet."
This is a particularly interesting cartoon since the textbook says that Jefferson made a good deal in making the Louisiana Purchase, but you can see from the cartoon that there was at least some disagreement at the time.

The westward expansion of the united states was right at the time because the Mexicans and the native Americans didn't know how to rule the land they owned.In document 1 it stated that the Mexicans were "imbecile and distracted" from ruling their territory.Also in document 2 united states didn't want to get in a war with Mexico because they "shed American blood upon American soil" just cause the united states wanted their land but Mexico would give their land to them if they beat them in war.In document 3 it was right to take over the Mexican territory because "ignorant cowards and profligate ruffians have ruled it for the last twenty-five years" and didn't care about the land anymore.Finally,The united states will keep on growing in greater heights that they didn't imagine and were lied just little civilization in north America and now lies a beautiful country.That's why it was okay for the U.S to take over other countries land at the time.
