First, use the link I have included to analyze the political cartoon. Then, check your accuracy by rolling your mouse over the different areas of the document. You will do an analysis of "Bostonians Paying the Excise Man" . Complete a document analysis sheet. In your reply to this post, explain at least three elements (exaggeration, symbolism, stereotype, humor, caricature, etc.) the illustrator uses and what they represent. Also include if you think the cartoon depicts the patriot or loyalist perspective. Use images and symbols from the political cartoon to support your belief.
