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.
