Expansion echoes across states and races in 1890s debates
The piece surveys imperial expansion since 1803, listing acquisitions from Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase to Alaska, and frames current West Indian and Philippines talk as part of a long pattern. It contrasts partisan views, recalls Red Cross hospitality to troops, and critiques racial tensions in Craven County and North Carolina politics.
