#2, Imperialism in the United States.

Imperialism is when a large country expands its economy or political control over a smaller a smaller nation. There are many pro and cons about imperialism here are some of them.
Pros:

• Creates more land and job opportunities which improves the economy.  
• More languages are introduced to the nation.
• More land to farm and ranch in which creates more food, meat, and jobs.

  Cons:

• Makes the nation look bad because other countries would see us as a country who is no longer neutral to other countries.
• Many jobs are lost for the people who live in the nation that are being taken over.
• Have to do something with all of the people who live in the country.
• Traditions from the country are easily forgot about by the larger country.

With this information i think that the US should not be a imperialist country because, It risks the US from being a country that is neutral and leads to other countries denying Americans access into there country. It also results as our country to not be a democracy anymore. It also puts us in a tough situation if the country has a lot of people and we have to move them to a other country or area.
 Bryan believed that the US should not be a imperialist country because, we would not give all of the rights to the immigrants that we would be controlling. Instead, they would want to exercise control over the new immigrant race.
 Roosevelt believed that the us should be an imperialist country because, if we don't take over the country we want to take over, a country bigger and more powerful than us will take over. He also believed that imperialism made us look strong and powerful and that isolationism made our country look weak.
 Platt believed that we should be a imperialist country. He later made the Platt Amendment that disallowed axnextion of cuba.
