Identify Albert beveridge's argument about American expansionism and imperialism

While Minister Josiah Strong backed expansionism by claiming it was God's Will, Senator Alfred Beveridge justified it by stating that the emerging businesses demanded imperialism and it was America´s destiny to bring trade, liberty, and civilization to benighted people.
Strong argued that it was America´s manifest destiny to acquire new lands in a race with the other nations to dominate the world and acquire the limited resources. Beveridge argued that the increased business abroad had made it necessary to protect investments overseas.
