Does the u. s have the right to be imperial power

In order to be an imperialist power, the country need to rule over foreign lands and people who are not part of that country, and who do not have the rights and privileges associated with citizenship.

In the past, the USA used to do this in:

Hawaii

Cuba

Philippines

Puerto Rico

Liberia

I do not think so because some countries have worked hard to be their own country and the united states cannot take that from them.

the discoverers and explorers: 1. natives showed jedediah smith the way. 2. william sublette was the first cross it with a caravan. 3.joel walker and his family were the frist settlers to use it. the jumping off point: 1. founded in 1827 near where the missouri river flows into the mississippi. 2. by the 1840's, it was the most popular "jumping off" point for pioneers to stock their wagons with supplies. 3. missionaries from the church of jesus christ of latter day saints attempted to make independence their zion, or holy capital. the route west: 1. the first emigrants to oregon came by ship before the trail was established. 2. ships continued to to travel to oregon even after the overland migrations began, but they were not popular among the pioneers. 3. the fare for a sea journey to oregon was quite expensive--few pioneer families could afford it. i don't know the other three i'm sorry.
