Expansionism in the Late 1800s and Early Twentieth-Century
Expansionism from the late nineteenth-century to the early twentieth-century has been somewhat of a continuation of past United States practices and somewhat of a departure. Americans viewed expansionism in many different ways. Some found it to be a excellent thing, while others saw it as imperialism, which in their eyes was a terrible thing. From Manifest Destiny to expanding for trade reasons, American citizens had different reasons for their opinions. Before the late nineteenth-century, the most common view on expansion was Manifest Destiny, which was expanding for reasons God gave them. It was God who told the people they should expand to spread their religion and their customs. This idea continued trough the end of the century and into the next. Some believed God was “training the Anglo-Saxon race for an hour sure to come in the world’s future…The unoccupied arable lands of the earth are limited, and will soon be taken…Then will the world enter upon a new stage of its history—the final competition of races, for which the Anglo-Saxon is being schooled…” (Doc B).
