Book Description
Excerpt from The Territorial Acquisitions of the United States: An Historical Review Because all the world is discussing the results of the war of 1898, this historical review, which recites in detail all the precedents established by the United States since the beginning of its government, should aid very greatly the intelligent comprehension of the subject. It is evidently the author's intention to avoid partisanship or controversy. He has told the whole truth, in simple graphic language, concerning every event that has occurred which has any relation to the gradual growth of a small, scattered group of States into the magnificent domain which is now the United States of America ; and he has left the reader to his own conclusions as to the propriety and wisdom of extending the national control to lands beyond the sea.
