Uncle Sam--leader of the country or the symbol of the country-- and Lady Liberty-- symbol representing the freedoms and ideals of the country.


The whole country was under investigation and the cartoon suggests all people could be seen as a threat to the country. It also suggests the ideals of the country could even be a threat to the security of the country.
