One of the reasons the United States should not have imperialized is because of the negative influence it had on indigenous peoples. They faced consequences such as lack of respect for their culture and traditions. The United States did not consider or respect indigenous peoples. After reading the different posters I was able to learn about how the United States did not value or consider the culture of the people, specifically the indigenous culture. This shows how the United States took advantage of any opportunity that could benefit them, regardless of how it affected others, just to expand and gain more power. That was what the United States wanted in general: greater political power. This raises the second reason why the United States should not have imperialized. The United States was invading other territories and taking them over without a doubt, as long as they knew they were going to benefit from it. They wanted to grow the economy, they cared a lot about the power they had, so they targeted those who had the essentials/materials they needed to increase power. In the information we read in class, to expand they used violence and invaded other territories. This shows us how controlling and selfish America was. Therefore, these actions and many other things the United States did, show us how self-centered they were. While they knew they would benefit wisely from their actions, the United States accepted it.

The United States should have NOT imperialized despite the said benefits. Imperialism led to exploitation of many sorts and discrimination against immigrants. They took (resources) from vulnerable countries like the Philippines and all of Central America even having the excuse of spreading religion to places like Africa to implement even more imperialism. -MJ.

One reason the United States should have not imperialized is that they would take control of other people's territories. One of the posters said the American culture destroyed local culture.
