Question

For what reasons does george f. hoar oppose the annexation of the philippines? why does hoar believe the imperialist are hypocrites? on what issues would hoar disagree with senator albert k. beveridge's views?

Answer 1

Few delegations had as differing a duo of senators as Massachusetts, which paired the expansionist Henry Cabot Lodge with Senator George Hoar. The speech below deals with the annexation of the Philippines (an outgrowth of the war in Cuba). But the principles outlined by Hoar were broader.                                  Hope this helps :)
