On the continental expansion, Americans pushed Native Americans off their land making deals with them that favored the US more than the tribes. After that, Americans pushed their ideas to the areas being developed trying to make Native Americans abandon their own culture.

On the expansionism overseas the US returned the land to its original inhabitants, this happened in Cuba for example. This was the main difference between expansionism inside and outside the US.

The taking of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines was a violation of fundamental American ideals of self-government and democracy, this was actually the main argument of Anti-Imperialists. Once the US  had claimed the territory they established their own rule and define role/impact in each respective country. Conquering other territories and forcing them to abide by American ideals and culture goes against the idea of American freedom.

The correct answer is C. Beat writers

Explanation:

The term "counterculture" is used to refer to cultures with opposite rules, values, norms, etc. to the main culture. This term was adopted during the 20th century to describe multiple movements that did not follow the general culture. This included movements such as the Hippie movement and the Counter culture of the 60s that were widely influenced by the Beat Generation or Beat Writers that were a group of writers whose narrative and themes were against the established style. Indeed, the Beat writers focused on rejecting the war, and exploring sexuality, drugs, and the human condition; these ideas influenced multiple counterculture of the 20th century such as the counterculture of the 60s, the hippie movement, and the anti-war movement. Thus, one of the origins of the counterculture ideas came from the Beat writers.
