Debating America’s New Role Angela Brown Chapter 9

Learning Targets: Describe the main arguments raised by the anti-imperialists. Explain why imperialism appealed to many Americans. Understand how imperialism made the United States both welcome and unpopular around the world.

The Anti-Imperialists After annexation of the Philippines in 1898 opposition to imperialism grew. Anti-Imperialism League established by Democrat William Jennings Bryan; settlement house leader, Jane Addams; and novelist, Mark Twain. http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/scopes/SCOPE10.JPG

Moral and Political Arguments Expansionist behavior was a rejection of the nation’s foundation of “liberty for all”. U.S. had enough difficulty at home so should not take on more responsibility. The large armies used to control other nations could be used to crush dissent at home. http://www.authentichistory.com/images/1900s/ cartoons/190x_roosevelt_big_stick.html

Racial Arguments Racism – belief that differences in character or intelligence are due to one’s race Many Americans believed Anglo-Saxons were superior to other races – public officials often agreed! http://www.authentichistory.com/images/1900s/cartoons /190x_roosevelt_panama_canal.html

Southern Democrats feared effects of having to absorb more people of different races into U.S. Others feared it would encourage people of other racial backgrounds to move to the U.S. http://www.authentichistory.com/images/1900s/cartoons/ 1914_monroe_doctrine.html

Economic Arguments Expansion involved too many costs. Maintaining necessary armed forces required more taxation, debt, and possibly even compulsory (required) military service.

Samuel Gompers argued laborers coming into U. S Samuel Gompers argued laborers coming into U.S. would compete with American workers for jobs. They would work for lower wages = drive wages down

Imperialism’s Appeal Keep Americans from losing competitive edge Offered a new kind of frontier for American Expansion Scouting appeared in U.S. in 1910 Need to gain access to new markets

1907 Roosevelt sent Great White Fleet on Cruise around the world to demonstrate power to the world. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.hazegray.org/features/gwf/gwf-bc.jp g&imgrefurl=http://www.hazegray.org/features/gwf/battlesh.htm&h=560&w=792&sz= 85&tbnid=7PYVR_88P9A6XM:&tbnh=101&tbnw=143&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgreat%2Bwhite %2Bfleet%2Bphotos&start=1&sa=X&oi=images&ct=image&cd=1

Two Sides of Imperialism The U.S. often had to defend governments that were unpopular with local inhabitants. Even those fearful about maintaining their independence turned to the U.S. for help.

Imperialist Racism We wanted the land and resources but we don’t want the people. Our culture and government is better than everyone else’s. They all want to be like us. So we should help them be just like us. Manifest Destiny states that God means for us to have this property.
