The Case Against Imperialism By the Nestor of the Senate
The Senate hears Hon. George F. Hoar of Massachusetts argue against U S expansionism. He decries subjugation of unwilling peoples, questions constitutional power to hold foreign territory, and urges the Declaration of Independence as a moral guide against imperialism. He cites Jefferson Adams Lincoln Sumner and Webster, warns against buying sovereignty, and defends a republic rooted in rights and duties.
