Annex Hawaii and Pacific stepping stones in U S expansion
The New York Christian Advocate warns that annexing Hawaii as a war measure will lead to broader territorial aggrandizement across the Pacific. It argues that Samoa, the Mariana Islands, Pelews, and Carolines would become stepping stones, with Canaries and Balearics serving Europe and Africa interests, while navy and army growth would mirror old-world monarchies. The piece critiques political leaders and laments the potential permanent folly of such expansion.
