I also agree. Our country talks about all of our money problems but as soon as someone needs help we spend millions on trying to save people, which is good but not if it's going to be used against us as imperialism.

It showed we were powerful and stupid. We had no reason being involved. It made us look like what we are, imperialistic. By throwing ourselves in the war and trying to be "the big guy" that saves the day. It was ridiculous and made us just look more arrogant.

I have to completely agree with this. The revolutionary war was something special, it set our independence. The Spanish American war was short, and defiantly not sweet. It was stupid and started based on a conspiracy.

This is very true, but I almost think we are even more imperialistic now than during the Spanish American war.

The Spanish American war started inn a conspiracy. This link below talks about the battle of Manila Bay, and it is an official report by the Spanish admiral Montojo.

Imperialism is one of the biggest things in our country today. Below I have a link that shows what American imperialism really is. It states it is the "economic, military, and cultural influence the US. has on other countries. Imperialism in my eyes is a problem, though our help has saved many countries.

I think he is also the best republican candidate, but I erosnally believe that Warren Mosler is the best choice for president.

This is a good post. I also posted about this book, this book really opened up the view of people, and shocked Americans ever where. The government really didn't like this about the writer, but this opened up to muckrakers and showed many people the truth.

This is very true, I have a post wiwth a link talking about this. Withought the muckrakers, who knows where we would be today.

Westward migration first came into play when people realized all the land in the west that was there for use. I have a link to show that "manifest destiny" was a big part of it. Manifest Destiny was something that the 19th century American belief that the United States was destined to expand across the continent. This wasn't really clear, because though we moved across, and now our west is industrialized, many people died on the way, and many indians and natural animals got destroyed.
