It seems a strange image for a colony of Puritans whose primary reason for settling in New England was freedom from religious persecution. It suggests that there were other, perhaps equally significant, motivations. It also betrays an acute awareness that the land they were “coming over to” was already occupied.
Cartoonists often use irony to express their opinion on an issue. When you look at a cartoon, see if you can find any irony in the situation the cartoon depicts. Hope its helpful:)
