30. This is an excerpt from a speech given by Theodore Roosevelt in 1900. This is just the same type of appeal that is being made now, and it is just as baseless in one case as it was in the other. In 1864 the name of liberty was invoked to secure the continuance of slavery. In 1900 it is invoked to secure the abandonment of American honor and to throw the Philippines under the rule of a corrupt and tyrannous oligarchy. In this excerpt, Roosevelt is expressing support for which action? A allowing Spain to reclaim the Philippines after the Spanish-American War B overthrowing the dictatorship in the Philippines C refusing to support the end of slavery in the Philippines D denying independence to the Philippines after the Spanish-American War
