Answer and Explanation:
1. We can infer that the cartoon was created in mid-1835. This is because we can see a representation of Andrew Jackson, larger and above Native Americans. This reinforces Andrew Jackson's sense of control across US territory during his tenure as president.
2. In cartoo, Andrew Jackson is portrayed as the father of Native Americans. This gives him an image of authority in relation to the natives, who are portrayed as fragile children in need of protection and who have no autonomy.
3. The main textual clue that the cartoon presents is the analogy. As there is no written text in the cartoon, the analogy is due to the similarity between Andrew Jackson and the natives, with representations of parents telling stories to their children. This analogy is established by the objects presented in the cartoon.
5. We can identify books, a chair, a painting and a type of small bookcase, that is, we can identify furniture that was common in homes at that time.
6. The message the cartoon sends is that Andrew Jackson has power over the natives, who must obey him and follow his orders, just as children should follow their father's orders. This is also intended to show Andrew as a friend and someone who is ready for the natives, as a family member and not an enemy.
