What is one argument against imperialism that Senator Beveridge identifies in this excerpt?

In studying imperialism or globalization from an American perspective, the turn of the twentieth century provides a useful starting point. Until that time, the nation was able to isolate itself from major overseas wars through geographic separation. Washington and Jefferson’s warning against entangling alliances and the Monroe Doctrine’s assertion of hemispheric self‐determination provided strong rhetorical justification for a policy of non‐ interference.1 This perspective changed after the Spanish‐American War of the late 1890s, when the United States acquired the Philippines and other territories as permanent possessions in postwar negotiations. For the first time, the United States had the eminent capability to begin overseas expansion and rival European imperial powers. Albert Beveridge's "March of the Flag" not only delivered a rhetorically powerful argument for such an expansion project into the Philippines and beyond, but also placed this argument into the larger context of Manifest Destiny—the historic mission of Americans to spread liberty, civilization, and "God’s kingdom on Earth." The call for such a policy of imperial conquest had great appeal in its era and carries insight for American foreign policy from that time forward.2
The speech is rhetorically significant as well. The march allegory has often been the critical focus of American public address students and scholars. The vivid image brings alive the themes of nationalist imperialism, making Beveridge's speech more memorable and meaningful. The forward progress of the flag gave the speech its organizing principle and its moral certitude. Rarely has one figural theme held such centrality for American political oratory as in the "March of the Flag" speech.
This analysis brings to the foreground the values and keywords of the era to better understand how the powerful march allegory functioned in the speech. Beveridge redefined several key terms of the speech both through connotative and denotative strategies. Specifically, "liberty" and "civilization" are linked to a continuous forward march. Meanwhile, Beveridge employed altered meanings of the terms that are specific to expansionist rhetoric while appearing consistent to a larger narrative. The power of Beveridge's speech flowed not only from the figurative language that scholars often identify

Explain what types of beliefs Charlemagne may have had? Why are they important for a ruler?
dezoksy [38]

After the fall of the Roman Empire, Charlemagne became king of the Frankish people in the year 751. He had the main belief of unifying all Germanic peoples and convert them to Christianity. Other important beliefs he had were the revival of culture and education which had been relegated during the dark ages. Thanks to these beliefs, Charlemagne got to control a large part of Europe. They are important for a ruler since promoting education within it citizens helps the development of a society. The firm belief he had in uniting all peoples is represented in many rulers that followed him like Napoleon; it is an important principle to consolidate a government and peace in a territory. Another example that he set for future leaders is the ability to make strategic alliances, the one he made with the Catholic Church eventually turn him into the holy roman emperor.

What 1819 event made many Americans want to elect officials who better protected their interests?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

The event was The Panic of 1819 that made many Americans want to elect officials who better protected their interests <em>because it made the Americans rethink the New Republicans and their system that favoured internal improvements, tariff protection and the Second Bank of the United States. </em>

This starts when the Second Bank of the United States tries to reduce the inflationary practices because many of the Western branches had issued large amounts of currency to speculators and farmers without having currency to support the paper currency. They thought they could solve it by drastically reducing the loans to these branches, however, <em>this resulted in foreclosures on real property</em>.

The Panic of 1819 was the first major financial crisis in the country and led to a collapse of the economy that continued for two years. The Panic also caused massive unemployment and bankruptcies.
