A famous quote by President Theodore Roosevelt was an old African proverb: “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” Roosevelt felt
that the “big stick” was action. In an essay of approximately 500 words, explain how the imperialistic attitude of the United States fit the meaning of the proverb.
Do not want you to write it just plz give me an idea
"The United States is not imperialistic in the normal sense of control and domination.
It is in the US's best interest to keep free trade and democratic principles alive in other countries because it improves the safety and economic status of Americans
That being said...
The United States has been nicknamed the Sleeping Dragon.
During the Global War on Terror, which started in the 1970's, the United States did not really take an active approach towards defeating and pushing back terrorism until after September 11, 2001 when it was attacked in New York City.
Even though the US was attacked many times between the 1970s and 1990s, the country had had enough after 9-11.
This is the concept of waking a sleeping dragon. Once the country and military mobilized, its enemies were on the run. The US enter Iraq and Afghanistan, captured Saddam Hussein, killed Osama bin Laden, etc.
Because of our actions in the Mexican American War, Spanish American War, World War 1, World War 2, Cold War and the Global War on Terror, only a few are bold enough to attack the US and very few actually live long to brag about it". - Yahoo I have a variety of information but I think that this is the best one . My point of view: Imperialism means to expand a country's power , it could be by political or military means . When President Theodore Roosevelt used the African proverb he basically said that people should be non violent/aggressive but they still should possess the ability to be violent .
Before Missouri joined the Union, the free and slave states were equally balanced in congress.Missouri wanted to join as a slave state, so the balance would be upset.
It would be the economic policy of "mercantilism" that was based on the idea that the American colonies primarily were meant to provide economic benefits for Great Britain, since this philosophy held that trade between two entities benefits mainly the larger entity (in this case Britain), and that it is in that entity's best interest to protect its trading partner (the colonies).
