Imperialism Tug of War by Louie Soper https://padlet.com/lsoper1/jji1np7xw75q Pick one end of the Tug of War to post your opinion. The two sides are as follows: US should become an imperialist nation and US should not become and imperialist nation. en-us 2018-02-13 01:01:04 UTC 2018-02-19 01:52:56 UTC hello@padlet.com Steven Pisano https://padlet.com/lsoper1/jji1np7xw75q/wish/231080498 I think the US could become an imperialist nation because if we don't expand more other people will take the land and could threaten the US, but also the US has everything it already needs, so it doesn't really need more land.]]> 2018-02-13 15:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lsoper1/jji1np7xw75q/wish/231080498 Kristin Marland kmarland18 https://padlet.com/lsoper1/jji1np7xw75q/wish/231080707 I think they should and should not because they should not take away land from the inhabitants without their consent but its good to expand the  country because we might need more resources and its good to have them in times of need. However its not humane to take peoples land that they have worked hard for just because their a more undeveloped country.

Also, it opens up areas for trade, provides as a rest stop, 
and could potentially make relationships better with other countries.  ]]> 2018-02-13 15:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lsoper1/jji1np7xw75q/wish/231080951 Conner https://padlet.com/lsoper1/jji1np7xw75q/wish/231080963 I think the US could become and imperialist nation because it would be good for them to reach out and try to trade with smaller countries and try to get land from them.]]> 2018-02-13 15:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lsoper1/jji1np7xw75q/wish/231080963 Carly Black https://padlet.com/lsoper1/jji1np7xw75q/wish/231081096 I think the US should become an imperialist nation because there could be many benefits of gaining more land.
