Book Description
Provides a critical re-evaluation of US territorial expansionism and imperialism from 1783 to the presentThe United States has been described by many of its foreign and domestic critics as an aempirea Providing a wide-ranging analysis of the United States as a territorial, imperial power from its foundation to the present day, this book explores the United States acquisition or long-term occupation of territories through a chronological perspective. It begins by exploring early continental expansion, such as the purchase of the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon Bonaparte in 1803, and traces US imperialism through to the controversial ongoing presence of US forces at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. The book provides fresh insights into the history of US territorial expansion and imperialism, bringing together more well-known instances (such as the purchase of Alaska) with those less-frequently discussed (such as the acquisition of the Guano Islands after 1856). The volume considers key historical debates, controversies and turning points, providing a historiographically-grounded re-evaluation of US expansion from 1783 to the present day.Key FeaturesProvides case studies of different examples of US territorial expansion/imperialism, and adds much-needed context to ongoing debates over US imperialism for students of both History and PoliticsAnalyses many of the better known instances of US imperialism (for example, Cuba and the Philippines), while also considering often-overlooked examples such as the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa and GuamExplores American imperialism from a aterritorial acquisition/long-term occupationa viewpoint which differentiates it from many other books that instead focus on informal and economic imperialismDiscusses the presence of the US in key places such as Guantanamo Bay, the Panama Canal Zone and the Arctic

Book Description
Excerpt from Territorial Acquisitions of the United States The story of the territorial acquisitions of the United States is a very wonderful story. The patriotic citizen of today points with pride to the men and events that helped to give independence to our nation. His heart thrills at the mention of Concord and Yorktown. He feels profoundly grateful to the heroes of the time of the American Revolution, regardless of whether they be soldiers or statesmen, and justly so for we owe to them a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. But while it is true that we should hold in sacred memory the names of the brave men who helped to transform the thirteen English colonies into thirteen "free and independent states," it is equally true that we should not torget these other brave men who continued the work so nobly begun. The heroes of the Revolution made us a nation, but it was the work of men no less heroes to extend the boundaries of that nation until from a narrow strip of land along the Atlantic seaboard, it had come to reach from sea to sea and to include lands and islands which the patriots of 75 did not even know to exist. To tell something of this great movement, to sketch briefly the inside history of the various land cessions is the purpose of this little volume. The original basis of this work was a series of papers prepared by the author in a course in Territorial Expansion of the United States, taken at Oklahoma University in 1911 under Professor J. S. Buchanan, Head of the Department of History and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Later in the same year when it was decided to publish these papers in book form, several weeks were spent in the University Library, going over the ground very carefully, verifying dates and figures and adding much new material. The volume is not research work in any sense of the word. It is merely a collection from many sources and a compilation of the salient facts and most interesting episodes in the various territorial acquisitions of our country. It was written primarily for the use of students and teachers who are interested in the wonderful history of the development of our nation and it is earnestly honed that they may find here something that will prove both helpful and interesting. It is further hoped that the reading of this little volume may give a clearer insight into many things connected with American History and instil in some one's mind the desire to read and study for himself the remarkable story of our territorial growth. If such should prove the case even in a very few instances the, book will have fulfilled its mission and the time and labor spent in its preparation will not be regretted.
