The Relationship between Colonialism and US Identity National narrative: free republic; non-imperialist; committed to self-determination Recall Hamilton’s “embryo of a great empire,” or his goal of national greatness through territorial expansion Recall the Monroe Doctrine 1821 Recall Sullivan’s “Manifest Destiny,”

1898 – the magic number? Really? Traditional interpretation: US does not get into imperial business until 1898 After Spanish-American War: referred to as democratic imperialism Consider that this late date ignores westward expansion completely; essentially, leaves out the annexation of much of the Western US

Question: Was expansion colonialism?

What is Colonialism? Classic: milt. Intervention; political transfer of sovereignty; domination (econ and cult); territorial acquisition; e.g., Belgium and Rwandans; Britain and India; Britain and Ireland; France and Lebanon; US and Puerto Rico, American Samoa; Hawaii Neo-colonialism: all of the above without formal transfer of sovereignty; e.g., Nicaragua, Cuba (post 1903), El Salvador, Philippines (post 1946)

Remember the Alamo Post 1821 Independence Mexico invites immigration Criteria : follow Mexican law; Spanish language for official documents; become Mexican citizen; convert to Catholicism Land 10 cents per acre versus $1.25 Mexican population gets displaced Mexico seeks to dissuade emigration; passes emancipation proclamation of 1829 Clamor for independence

Notable Anti-War Voice Abolitionist, Frederick Douglass, warned: “Mexico seems a doomed victim to Anglo Saxon…love of dominion…. The determination of our slaveholding President to prosecute war, and the probabilities of his success…is made evident…by the puny opposition arrayed against him.”
