During the 19th century, many countries such as France and the United Kingdom claimed various countries throughout Africa, often for economical or trade reasons. This is called imperialism. During this time though, the United States was preoccupied with claiming unoccupied land in what would be their country, but when they noticed the opportunity to claim weaker territories, they began debating whether it was a right/moral thing to do or not. On one hand, it came with great power and financial hand, though this contradicted heavily against their beliefs of democracy. Overall, imperialism was not a proper or legitimate policy for the United States to follow at the turn of the nineteenth-century As previously mentioned, the idea of .imperialism was immoral and downright unconstitutional. The United States was built upon the foundation that every individual was allowed the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. For the citizens of the United States to fight for the rights of freedom and independence for so long against the forces of Great Britain, just for them to later take control of the countries in Africa not too differently from how Great Britain did just seemed extremely hypocritical. The Anti-Imperialist League, within the excerpts in their platform during the 1900 election, agree with this statement, saying: “We regret that it has become necessary to reaffirm that all men, of whatever race and color, are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We maintain that governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed. We insist that the subjugation of any people is ‘criminal aggression’”.
