Some motivations to why America wanted to acquire Hawaii was because of the abundance of resources and also securing the navy. During this time, the US started production on strengthening the navy.

Was American Imperialism around the turn of the century justified?  Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
No, I believe that American imperialism around the turn of century was not justified at all because America did a lot shady and horrible things to obtain the territories. Manifest Destiny also played a big role to in why America started to continue expanding despite the warning from President of George Washington about expansion. Some things were justified but many were not like how we removed the queen of Hawaii from her own throne, or how we attacked Philippines insisting that they needed America, and if America wants land or more territories, slaughter for it. Look at what happened to Hawaii, the Philippines, Cuba, Porto Rico, and etc. For Cuba, the Spanish had never even attacked the Maine despite many knowing the truth, Americans didn't care and only wanted war, even though it might not be true or it is true.

CHAPPAQUA, NY-Brushing aside insinuations that she had anything to do with the rancorous confirmation process, former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton laughed off Wednesday the idea that she was politically savvy enough to run a revenge campaign against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. "It's utterly ridiculous to think that I, of all people, would have the political acumen to take down Judge Kavanaugh," said Clinton, who pointed to her squandering what amounted to a sure bet to be elected president in 2016 as proof that she was far too inept to perpetrate the kind of elaborate political hit job on Kavanaugh that others had accused her of. "Come on, did you see the way I bungled all those allegations about my emails during the race? Or my totally pathetic efforts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania? I haven't even been able to shed false accusations of murder from 25 years ago. If I had tried to derail his confirmation, the whole scheme would have backfired and he'd be sitting on the Supreme Court by now." Clinton also scoffed at the notion that she would have any impulse to do anything about the Supreme Court pick other than play up his right-wing views while soliciting donations from her base.

In this cartoon, I believe what is getting portrayed is presidents being size of America and as centuries go by, America expands and annexes more land and countries. America continues to gain more and more territory as time passes at least that is what get from looking at this cartoon.

"The White Man's Burden" by Rudyard Kipling

1.) A burden- something that is a bother
2.)Kipling views the people that are being imperialism are half devil and half child. He thinks that other people that aren't white are uncivilized and that white people are civilized.
3.) Kipling seems to approve imperialism because he seems to think it will benefit nations. I do not agree with Kipling's view because imperialism isn't good because it mostly happens when another nations just takes over one that seems undeveloped.
4.) It is a extremely racist poem and was poorly written from what Teddy Roosevelt said. In other words this poem is saying that its the white man's burden to civilize those countries that are less developed. Here the author of this poem is fully supporting the actions of what the US is doing in the Philippines. The author is saying that Filipinos are half and devil and that is why he think's that is the Us duty to help Filipinos because they think they can't care of themselves. Even though the help they give isn't really helping the Philippines and is doing the opposite.
