Problem
Discussing the new empire. Was the acquisition of new territories a worthy venture? What did American politicians think of acquiring new territories? Were any politicians against the War, and owning territories? What were the reasons for not wanting the new colonies? Did the USA do the right strategy by competing with rivals for economic success? Should the territories acquired be left alone, or should the USA be responsible for their well-being? Was Assimilation worth the troubles in Cuba and the Philippines? Could there be racial implications within the USA due to taking over new territories?
