Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Constitution of Empire offers a constitutional and historical survey of American territorial expansion from the founding era to the present day. The authors describe the Constitution’s design for territorial acquisition and governance and examine the ways in which practice over the past two hundred years has diverged from that original vision. Noting that most of America’s territorial acquisitions—including the Louisiana Purchase, the Alaska Purchase, and the territory acquired after the Mexican-American and Spanish-American Wars—resulted from treaties, the authors elaborate a Jeffersonian-based theory of the federal treaty power and assess American territorial acquisitions from this perspective. They find that at least one American acquisition of territory and many of the basic institutions of territorial governance have no constitutional foundation, and they explore the often-strange paths that constitutional law has traveled to permit such deviations from the Constitution’s original meaning.

Download or read book Manifest Destiny and American Territorial Expansion written by Amy S. Greenberg and published by Macmillan Higher Education. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of Amy Greenberg's Manifest Destiny and American Territorial Expansion continues to emphasize the social and cultural roots of Manifest Destiny when exploring the history of U.S. territorial expansion. With a revised introduction and several new documents, this second edition includes new coverage of the global context of Manifest Destiny, the early settlement of Texas, and the critical role of women in America's territorial expansion. Students are introduced to the increasingly influential transnational concept of settler colonialism, while maintaining a central focus on the ideological origins, social and economic impetus, and territorial acquisitions that fueled U.S. territorial expansion in the nineteenth century. Readers of the revised edition will also find an updated bibliography reflecting both the historiography of American expansion and its transnational context, as well as updated questions for consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of the ten best books of the year by the Chicago Tribune A Publishers Weekly best book of 2019 | A 2019 NPR Staff Pick A pathbreaking history of the United States’ overseas possessions and the true meaning of its empire We are familiar with maps that outline all fifty states. And we are also familiar with the idea that the United States is an “empire,” exercising power around the world. But what about the actual territories—the islands, atolls, and archipelagos—this country has governed and inhabited? In How to Hide an Empire, Daniel Immerwahr tells the fascinating story of the United States outside the United States. In crackling, fast-paced prose, he reveals forgotten episodes that cast American history in a new light. We travel to the Guano Islands, where prospectors collected one of the nineteenth century’s most valuable commodities, and the Philippines, site of the most destructive event on U.S. soil. In Puerto Rico, Immerwahr shows how U.S. doctors conducted grisly experiments they would never have conducted on the mainland and charts the emergence of independence fighters who would shoot up the U.S. Congress. In the years after World War II, Immerwahr notes, the United States moved away from colonialism. Instead, it put innovations in electronics, transportation, and culture to use, devising a new sort of influence that did not require the control of colonies. Rich with absorbing vignettes, full of surprises, and driven by an original conception of what empire and globalization mean today, How to Hide an Empire is a major and compulsively readable work of history.
