What was the first telegraph message? Sent by inventor Samuel F.B. Morse on May 24, 1844, over an experimental line from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, the message said: "What hath God wrought?" Taken from the Bible, Numbers 23:23, and recorded on a paper tape, the phrase had been suggested to Morse by Annie Ellsworth, the young daughter of a friend. The success of the experiment would change forever the national communication system. But Morse wasn't just interested in the telegraph.

Explanation:
The Yazoo Land Fraud was one of the most infamous fraud in which Georgia governors and state legislature was involved in selling vast tract of lands to insiders at cheap prices from 1798 to 1803. The land fraud included receiving land as gifts. The governors involved in this fraud were George Walton, Edward Telfair, George Mathews and Jared Irwin. They all granted land gifts that amounted to more than 2,600,000 aces. It included 1000 acres of single and multiple land grants. There was public furore when the details of the land grants were revealed, the Yazoo land sales were repealed in 1796. The three senators bought land by forming companies and tried to pay using old currency.

Answer:
Imperialism is the act of colonization and domination over other nations. During the specific time period, when developed countries started to get their acts together, smaller developing countries were abused and manipulated. A prime example of this is Britain's massive empire, on which the sun evidently never set.
The US got involved with imperialism after they had taken control of the modern-day contiguous states. They soon got it in their heads that the very respectable Queen Liliuokalani was a savage and a heathen, quickly deposed her, and took Hawaii; Alaska soon followed, much more peacefully but no less vehemently contested. Further grabs at Cuba and the Philippines followed, both similarly misguided.
I'm assuming this is talking about world war I, but I'm not entirely sure. In any case, after WWI, Wilson and the idealists had finally realized the need to end isolationism. Eventually, the US did confess to their poor treatment of native Hawaiians and others who were oppressed.
