Columbus Picture Analysis

This picture is a comical depiction of how Columbus pretty much demanded that the Indians give up their land. The caption is a witty phrase that lets the person who sees it know that the Indians didn't have a say in what is done with their land. The picture shows Columbus walking up to the Indians like he was on a mission, much like a persistant salesman. The caption shows that he would decide what would be done with the land. Columbus wouldn't have taken "no" for an answer. This relates to my essay because in the text that I read there was a part that talked about how Columbus went to the New World, demanded land, and had no opposition from the Indians from whom he took it.
