EXPLANATIONS BELOW
Concept note-1: -The league argued against militarization and the creation of an overseas American Empire and asserted that the principles the United States had been founded upon needed to extend to foreign policy as well.
Concept note-2: -The Anti-Imperialist League was formed in June 1898 [?] to oppose the war of the United States with Spain over Cuba’s fight for independence from Spanish rule. The United States also wished to expand its influence in the Carribean and across the Pacfic and so annexed the Philippine Islands and Puerto Rico.
Concept note-3: -The League’s political platform claims that the “forcible subjugation of any people” is un-American and unjust, and it argues that native populations should be able to govern themselves without interference by outside governments.
Concept note-4: -This policy was opposed by members of the Anti-Imperialist League and by liberals such as Post on the grounds that it violated the principles of Thomas Jefferson (The Declaration of Independence), George Washington (his Farewell Address), and Abraham Lincoln.
