President McKinley emphasized a civilizing and Christianizing role for America when he justified acquisition of the Philippine Islands, but concern for business and commerce also influenced American foreign policy at the end of the nineteenth century. Do you agree? Furthermore, how would you assess U.S. foreign policy during this period in light of the influence of business, religion and racism? In what ways have these ideas influenced U.S. foreign policy and what are the potential ramifications? What kind of legacy has the United States left in former colonies such as the Philippines and other territories acquired from Spain? Are there any contradictions of a democracy such as the United States also having an empire? Please make sure to give sound reasoning for your arguments based on evidence from additional readings.
