The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Should the US have become an empire?

No of course not, because that would have been in direct opposition to the elevated ideas expressed by the United States Founding fathers when they created the US Constitution and established the new form of government during the Constitutional Convention held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the summer of 1787.

Nevertheless, as it happens in the history of the nations, there were Presidents that under the idea of the Manifested Destiny tried to expand the US territory waging war, invading, and supporting imperialistic ideals, as was the case of President James Polk. It was the time of the Mexican-American War when the United States got the territories of California, Arizona, and New Mexico, Other Presidents had similar foreign policies.

How long could the US have maintained an isolationist policy toward the world?

Basically, the US developed the concept of isolationism during two important times in modern history. First, at the beginning of World War I. US President Woodrow Wilson tried to maint the foreign policy of neutrality. Years later, at the beginning of World War II, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to do the same. In both cases, after terrible events, both presidents decided to enter the war.

After the Civil War, the Seminole government was divided because of a split between __________ factions.
8090 [49]
<span>The term "Seminole" is a derivative of "cimarron" which means "wild men" in Spanish. The original Seminoles were given this name because they were Indians who had escaped from slavery in the British-controlled northern colonies. When they came to Florida, they were not called Seminoles as they were actually Creeks, Indians of Muskogee derivation. The Muskogean tribes comprised the Mississipian culture which were temple-mound builders. Among the Muskogean tribes were the Creeks, Hitichis and Yamasees of Georgia, the Apalachees of Florida, the Alabamas and Mobiles of Alabama, and the Choctaws, Chickasaws and Houmas of Mississippi. <span> The Origins of the Seminoles
The original Seminoles came to Florida because it was controlled by the Spanish, who had no interest in returning slaves to the British. They were mostly Lower Creeks who spoke the Mikasuki language, but other Indians, including Yuchis, Yamasees and Choctaws who had confronted Ponce de Leon and DeSoto, also joined the tribe in their trek to northern Florida from Georgia during the early 1700s. </span> By this time, many of the tribes in Florida, including the Tequestas, Calusas, Apalachees, Timucans and others, had been decimated by the Spanish presence, either in battles or by diseases such as smallpox. Out of an estimated 100,000 native Americans that occupied Florida during the 1500s, less than 50 survived. In 1767, Upper Creeks from Alabama, who spoke the Muskogee language, settled in the Tampa area. Shortly after this, in 1771, the first recorded usage of the name "Seminole" to denote an actual tribe was recorded. In 1778, the Seminoles were joined by more Lower Creeks and a few Apalachees. <span> The Five Civilized Tribes
Together with the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks and Cherokees, the Seminoles were called "The Five Civilized Tribes." The name was coined because these tribes in particular adopted many ways of the white civilization. They lived in cabins or houses, wore clothes similar to the white man and often became Christians. </span></span>
