We have gone there to conquer, not to redeem. . . . And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land."

Then, I thought:
(1) that we could not give them back to Spain—that would be cowardly and dishonorable;
(2) that we could not turn them over to France or Germany—our commercial rivals in the Orient—that would be bad business;
(3) that we could not leave them to themselves—they were unfit for self- government;
(4) that there was nothing left for us to do but to take them all, and to educate the Filipinos, and uplift and civilize and Christianize them, and by God’s grace to do the best we could by them."
President McKinley

The institutions of our republic have taken root too deeply in the minds and hearts of our people to permit us to become a nation of conquerors, or to dominate by force of arms a people struggling for liberty and independence."
