The Anti-Imperialist<span> League was founded on June 15, 1898 in Boston, in opposition of the acquisition of the Philippines, which happened anyway. The </span>anti-imperialists<span> opposed the expansion because they believed </span>imperialism<span> violated the credo of republicanism, especially the need for "consent of the governed." <--- This is what an anti-imperialist is.
