Roosevelt on Philippine policy mirrors Jefferson era
Theodore Roosevelt argues expansionists’ approach in the Philippines follows Jeffersonian logic from Louisiana. He contends gradual self government fits each territory, rejects imperialism or militarism, and supports guiding Flores with merit-based administration under Taft Wood and Allen while resisting abrupt self rule for islands. He warns against leaving islands to oligarchic rule or foreign domination and urges stable governance aligned with inhabitants' interests.
