What type of country is the U. S., according to Beveridge? I
DOCUMENT C: "March of the Flag" speech by Albert J.
Beveridge; September 16, 1898
Fellow citizens, it is a noble land that God has given us; a land
that can feed and clothe the world... It is a mighty people that he
has planted on this soil; a people sprung from the most masterful
blood of history, a people
perpetually revitalized by the virile,
man-producing workingfolk of all the earth; a people imperial by
virtue of their power, by right of their institutions, by authority of
their heaven...
Think of the thousands of Americans who will pour into Hawaii
and Puerto Rico when the [American] republic's laws cover those
islands with justice and safety! Think of the tens of thousands of
Americans who will invade mine and field and forest in the
Philippines when a liberal government, protected and controlled
by this republic, if not the government of the republic itself, shall
establish order and equity there! Think of the hundreds of
thousands of Americans who will build a soap-and-water,
common-school civilization of energy and industry in Cuba,
when a government of law replaces the double reign of anarchy
and tyranny!
