Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Supporters of the Anti-Imperialist League believed that the United States should focus on domestic issues rather than expanding its influence abroad. They were opposed to the idea of imperialism, which they believed was exploitative and undermined American values. They did not seek to civilize or control "savage" peoples, as imperialism often involved, and did not argue in favor of any form of imperialism, benevolent or otherwise. They also did not maintain that Filipinos or Puerto Ricans were entitled to U.S. citizenship.
