To a large degree, American Imperialism was rooted in the “taming” and “civilizing” of perceived "inferior" peoples in other parts of the globe. Discuss how Theodore Roosevelt embodied this notion of “civilization." In what ways does the film, Theodore Roosevelt in Africa (beginning at the 8:30 min. mark), demonstrate this sentiment? Furthermore, it is essential that you discuss the other (print) primary sources and the content embedded in the Russell article, while pondering the arguments that I made in the lecture on American imperialism. What were the arguments concerning American imperialism? Why or why not did some support America's imperial mission. And how did race (and, to a certain degree, religion) factor into these arguments? Highlight America's role in its colonization and war with the Philippines to really illustrate this part.
