I’m having trouble with these few questions :( 1. what were the THREE main reasons the united states was getting involved in foreign affairs?

2. what did Anglo-Saxonism and Manifest Destiny have in common?

3. imperialism is the political and economic control of one country by another. what effects do you think imperialism might have in the society, culture, and natural environment of the country being controlled?

4. your book gives several reasons that Americans wanted to create a global empire. what about the Americans who didn’t? Why do you think people might not want their country to get involved in global issues?

5. between economic growth, military security, or the idea of radical/cultural supremacy, which do you think was the main cause of American imperialism?

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.  

to demand women’s suffrage

true, they can both only can be studied with ancient text.
