Proponents may argue that as time evolved, America has moved passed its enslavement ways however, because the abundant amount of similarities between the time periods of the 1620s and the 1950s, it is depicted that although not outright and direct the idea slavery is consistent in the United States.
One theme that I find is constant throughout American history is “making the world safe for democracy”. Throughout United States history many United States leaders constantly feel the need to barge into other countries and attempt to have them under our ruling. This theme is first shown during the Native American era when america was first found. Upon the meeting of the Native Americans the first thought was that they were savages and needed to be “helped” when in actuality they attempted to change them and strip them of their culture. Americans attempted to put Native Americans under their ruling despite their resistance. Further into the the future during the industrialization era, as america developed more and more machinery they took their advances to the west which consequently was also during the time of the Gold rush. The west is Native american territory therefore americans moving out there in attempt to find gold and industrialize that portion was disturbing their area. While americans inhabited

As mentioned before America felt as though that they were superior to other countries therefore also causing them to feel the need to implant themselves in countries when help is not needed. For instance, during the situation with the filipinos america did not allow them to conserve their own culture. They educated the filipinos their own way rather than helping them in areas that they actually needed help in. Rather than putting in better resources and more they taught them their culture. They felt that they were so superior that it was a burden to “help” other

    In the time period of 1800-1860, the idea of slavery was very prominent in the Southern part of the United States. Slavery was brought to the US when it was still in its colonial phase and carried on into the Pre-Civil War Era. Slavery was a bad part of our history, but it helped form the nation we know today. The idea of slavery was taken to the extreme when people began to think about getting rid of the idea of having indentured servants, which you would release after so many years on their contract, to having slaves who you bought and never released.…

    During the years of 1895-1920, America had started to move towards the idea of getting involved with foreign places. With the closing of the frontier, America had started to search for a type of ‘new frontier’ that they could conquer. The factor most important in driving American foreign policy in this time was self-interest. While idealism played a role when America felt the need to help foreign countries, it was ultimately self-interest that led America to take actions in foreign policy. Self- interest is shown when Senator Albert J. Beveridge claims in a speech that America was in need for new markets to get new resources from and to sell to for more trade.…

    Industrialization was in full force throughout most of the United States and the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793 allowed the “peculiar institution” to become the most profitable industry in the world. The cotton gin streamlined the laborious task of cotton sorting. Cotton soon surpassed tobacco as the United States’ most valued export. Cotton processed in the south was processed in textile plants in New England, which was bolstered by Elias Howe’s invention of the first, cross-stitching sewing machine in 1846. Slaves were insured by northern insurance companies and clothed with “slave cloth” from textile mills.…

    In the Pre-Civil War era, America was disembodied over the issue of slavery from the North and South. Inventions such as the cotton gin and the steel plow boomed the need for slave labor in the South, so much that their population in that area increased from ⅓ to ½ from the 1840s to the 1860s. The call for freedom for all African Americans loomed with slave rebellions and the abolition movement. However, Southerners and its slave owners vowed to keep their slaves, needing a workforce to labor on their cash crop plantations, that made up the vast majority of their economics. Many abolitionists including David Walker, William Lloyd Garrison, Henry Highland Garnet, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Tubman, and Angelina Grimké Weld poured their hearts…

    Slavery played an important part during the 18th and 19th centuries in the agricultural economies of the South. By the year 1804 the states located North of the Mason and Dixon lines had mostly worked on diminishing slavery, but slavery still existed in the South.

    The United States had a long tradition of expansion across the continent, but by the late 1800s, people started urging the U.S to start expanding overseas, following European’s model of imperialism. America’s actions in Cuba and the Philippines were the first steps in its quest to build an overseas empire. Many people say that for a complete explanation of U.S. actions in the 1890s, one would have to give equal weight to four motives: racism, nationalism, commercialism, and humanitarianism. However, humanitarianism was not a major cause of U.S’s actions in Cuba and the Philippines. The goal for the U.S was not to help people’s lives in those countries, but rather for commercialist, nationalist and racist reasons.…

    William Appleman Williams’ essay The Tragedy of American Diplomacy centers around America expansion, and the idealistic and economic motivators which inspired it. Williams frames his narrative with his critique of the idea that expansion was one of the main ways in which America could extend its virtues throughout the world, and create a new era of peace. He decides the true tragedy of American diplomacy is that actions undertaken in the name of humanitarianism, self determination, and peace actually work in opposition to those ideals and instead turn the United States into an oppressive force abroad. While the United States may have desired to help others, they believed the only way they could do so was if they maintained authority over the nations they helped. The reason this occurred, Williams argues, is because expansionism has a large role in American mythos but both policy makers and citizens refuse to reconcile expansion with the idea of becoming an empire.…

    American Imperialism: Differences on the Homefront In the late 19th Century, the United States began to expand its territories overseas much like Great Britain, France, and Spain had done many years prior. With the annexation of Hawaii in 1898, and the acquisition of territories like the Philippines and Guam, the United States looked as though they were going to fulfill their quest in finally becoming a ‘superpower’. Supporters of imperialism believed it was time for America to expand its horizons and once again show their dominance to the rest of the world. On the other hand, many believed that the United States should not exercise their military power over weaker territories similarly to what Spain did and instead grant them their freedom.…
