The Flag and a Nation’s Destiny in Defense of the Flag
A lengthy patriotic argument asserts that the American flag must remain flying over all territories, including the Philippines, Porto Rico, and islands acquired by conquest or treaty. It cites historical figures and battles to protest surrender or lowering of the flag, warning that weakness erodes national sovereignty and unity. The piece champions expansion, national honor, and the Monroe doctrine as guiding principles.
