Excerpt from The Present Crisis
We are of those who believe that this nation is essentially a nation of good people. Like every other na tion, it is very full of sinners, and many of the sinners are in high places, where they can blow loud blasts and pull strong ropes and often exercise the determining influence; but noth ing shall shake us from the conviction that the great majority of men in this republic desire to know the truth and to do the right, and that if they do not do the right thing it is because they do not know the truth or see clearly what is the most important question.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Step back into the heart of a nation grappling with its identity and role on the world stage at the dawn of the 20th century. This book delves into a pivotal moment in American history, marked by debates over imperialism, expansion, and the nation's burgeoning presence in the Pacific. The author passionately dissects the Spanish-American War and the subsequent Philippine-American War, questioning the motives behind these conflicts and their implications for a nation founded on principles of liberty and self-determination. The text meticulously examines the economic, political, and moral dimensions of America's foray into imperialism, exposing the underlying forces of commercial greed and the thirst for power that fuel such endeavors. This book challenges the notion of "world power" as defined by military might and territorial acquisition, advocating instead for a form of influence rooted in education, ethical values, and the principles of freedom and fraternity. By drawing comparisons with historical empires and highlighting America's unique position as a beacon of democracy, the author calls for a return to the nation's founding ideals and a rejection of the path towards militarism and subjugation. Ultimately, this book serves as a powerful indictment of American imperialism, urging readers to critically examine the nation's actions and consider the true meaning of liberty and its role in shaping a just and equitable world.
