Treaty of Paris

 

He disapproves of the American public assuming possible approaches of governance over obtained lands. Partisan views were perceived of what political parties would like to do after ratification. In reality the treaty had nothing to do with what social aspects will be implemented. These were only the expansionist ideas and the treaty didn't advise what was going to be actually implemented. The American population was waiting the type of rule the United States will have over foreign territories. The Treaty's endorsement was favoring expansion because the United States was already moving east to west and there was no where else to expand but to the Islands of the oceans.
             Document E portrays the Filipino President Emilio Aguinaldo opposing the United States. After being relinquished by Spain to the United States Aguinaldo declared the Independence of the Philippines. In this picture Uncle Sam is showing Aguinaldo, President McKinley's personal desire stating that the Philippines will not have self-autonomy and will be controlled by the United States. Aguinaldo opposes Uncle Sam with a machete in his hand, which is used to cut down jungle shrubbery and symbolize resistance and strength. Aguinaldo is being portrayed to be smaller and inferior to the more powerful Uncle Sam. This clearly showed in favor of Republican ethnocentricity with Filipino resistance. This document apparently shows United States favoring expansion in this case, wanting the Philippine Islands.
             Document F was a speech by Senator George F. Hoar, a republican, against the ratification of the Treaty of Paris. This speech revealed the ambitions of the Republican Party, which was, to extend the United States power to the Philippines and have complete supremacy over the smaller Spanish possessions of the Caribbean. This can be quoted on the speech by Hoar, "When you raise the flag over the Philippine Islands as an emblem of dominion and acquisition you take it down from Independence Hall".
