FDR was limited in his ability to respond to Britain's call for help in 1940 due to the Neutrality Acts passed by Congress in the 1930's.
The Neutrality Acts consisted of three different laws, but all of them were based around the idea of avoiding foreign wars at all costs. The following are just some conditions of this acts passed by Congress:
1) The US government was forbidden to sell arms to countries involved in war.
2) Forbid American ships from entering war zones.
3) Barred Americans from traveling on ships that would be considered hostile.
4) Prevented American commercial ships from being armed.
All of these conditions show America's dedication to staying out of foreign affairs during this time period.
5. The purpose of the cartoon was to create sympathy for the African Americans, considering AJ despised them.
6. The intended audience was anyone who did not agree with AJ's veto. The cartoonist's purpose was to raise awareness to this issue.
7. The tone is obviously sympathy with a hint of bigotry considering Andrew Johnson's large head.
8. AJ was literally kicking out the Bureau with his veto, as illustrated in the cartoon. Racism is still largely prevalent in the government. Congress and the president disagreed on this issue. Newspaper headlines all around the country read, "<em>SIDE WITH CONGRESS, SIDE WITH THE NEGROES. SIDE WITH THE PRESIDENT, SIDE WITH THE WHITE MAN</em>."
Hope this helped.
