expansionism

 

This method existed in the American's mind through the twentieth century as they spread out their nation. This idea is greatly exemplified in document E, in which Senator Albert J. Beveridge delivers a speech to Congress, saying that, "àand thanksgiving to Almighty God that He has marked us as His chosen people, henceforth to lead in the regeneration of the worldà" .
             On the other hand, expansionism became a competition of between America and the other countries. America was aware that it needed to claim their share in all directions in the word when every nation was running faster than the other toward the free regions to have the power on it and dominate it and this is presented in the cartoon in document A. Having acknowledged that and feeling capable of anything and having a strong military organization for sea warfare and defense, America started catching up and set into motion in racing against the other countries around the world to control the uncontrolled regions. However, America couldn't stretch to the far overseas countries because it had no navy, and that disadvantage made them only to conquer the countries that surrounded it and because of this America missed the opportunity to conquer the out of reach territories.
             In addition, when America was expanding in the early nineteenth century, outside resistance was much less powerful than when America was looking for land overseas in the late nineteenth century. This is shown in document G. .
             The period following the Civil War up to the late 1870's was given over to consolidating the territorial lands and integrating them into the political and economic mainstream. In the south, the policies of reconstruction were aimed at a quick reintegration of that region back into the union. In the west, efforts as diverse as the building of a transcontinental train line, federal support for capital enterprises and a federal subsidization of land settlement all served to bring western territorial areas within the influence of eastern economic and political institutions.
