Syllabus And Caicos Pros And Cons

Now, we’re involved in a possible conflict with Spain.  It is possible that we might engage in an epic naval battle with the Spanish fleet in the Philippines. Hawaiian Islands provide us with the perfect coal station for our Navy and supply ships on the way to the Philippines. It is in America’s best interest to annex Hawaii as soon as possible.  If we do not act quickly, the British might annex Hawaii.  There’s no time to waste. The Filipinos have been fighting against the Spanish rule for some time now. Are we going to help them achieve their independence from Spanish rule?  If we deem that they’d be better of being independent, we will assist them.  But, if we deem that they’d benefit from being annexed, we might go ahead and add the Philippines to our oversea possessions. Like with the Hawaiians, the Filipinos will benefit from the Christianization of their islands. With the influx of American values, cultures, and language, we will be doing any country annexed a favor by allowing them into our nations cultural and economic prosperity.

Many people across the globe argue that nationalism within Canada is simply not feasible. It is said that we as a people, differ so greatly with our diverse cultures, religions, and backgrounds that we cannot come together and exist together as a strong, united nation. In his book, Lament for a Nation, George Grant tells the reader that “…as Canadians we attempted a ridiculous task in trying to build a conservative nation in the age of progress, on a continent we share with the most dynamic nation on earth. The current history is against us.” (1965) Originally directed towards the Bomarc Missile Crisis, the book argues that whatever nationalism Canada had was destroyed by globalization as well as the powerful American

American expansion? Well, that would make our county more stable and give us more opportunities to defend against our enemies. The Americans are nothing to fear! We can gain their trust and use it to our advantage.The American’s also have an amazing political system that we could look toward so we can improve our own and make it more efficient.

A newspaper in Washington said “we are not prepared for war” (doc D), stating that we are outnumbered, that the American people dreaded the thought of invading Canada, that if we declared war America would ultimately fail. Our foreign policy was another issue on the table, as people wondered whether to try and ally with France and Canada or to go ahead and proclaim war on them, too, in hopes of conquering the British Canada. A congressman says that war is unnecessary, that “A war of invasion may invite a retort of invasion”. If we take Canada as our own territory and expand north, the British could easily gather their grounds, invade Canada and take it back just as easily - and that was if the Americans could beat the British for Canada in the first

“I believe, from all that I can learn that the Provinces will, ere long, be one great country or nation, from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Never before was there such an important meeting as this held in the history of British America; and it may yet be said that here, in little Prince Edward Island, was that Union formed which has produced one of the greatest nations on the face of God’s earth.” However the conference went undecided on a conclusion which led to the Quebec

Wow! England is taking everything away from us, Quebec do you think we should secede?, I think so.

There have been many issues with annexation with the United States in the past. So many that you would think the leaders of today would know by now that annexation is not a wise move to make in expansion. A prime example of forcible annexation is with the annexation of the Philippines. The United States annexed the island nation with no consent and, some would say, no mercy for the natives of this country. This quote from the San Francisco Agronaut highlights Americas non-concern for the Filipino people: “WE DO NOT WANT THE FILIPINOS. WE DO WANT THE PHILIPPINES…The more of them killed the better. It seems harsh. But they must yield before the superior race,” (Lapsansky). This act is made even more horrendous when you take into account the fact that the United States had just helped the Philippines receive freedom from the horrible dealings of being annexed into and apart of the empire of Spain. We set the small island nation free from one country to be annexed into another.

America wanted to annex Canada because it had a lot of resources that America would have loved to get there hands on the great amount of resources that America could have used. America also wanted to annex canada because it would have been a huge amount of territory gain for america and it would have made America a super country, it would have been a metaphorical spit in the face to Great Britain.

It is pretty clear that the U.S. did whatever it took to acquire more territory and you can’t really blame them. The opportunities that new land creates is worth going through what it takes to get there. The hunger for land was real and will always be real, but the real hunger is for the power that the land creates, and that will never

The rules they have are very outrageous and not reasonable. In Source Two the rules states, “1) Independence from Great Britain and removal of all British troops from United States territory;2) Settlement of all boundaries. 3) Canadian territory to revert to those boundaries before the Quebec Act; and 4) American rights to fish in the Grand Banks and use of Canadian shores to dry and cure the catch.

Does doubling the size of our new and growing nation at a fair price seem smart to you? It does to me. The United States would acquire 820,000 square miles of land in this purchase, nearly doubling the nations land mass. With 820,000 square miles more to work with America will have a huge amount of space to expand into. That is not to mention it would be at only 5¢ an acre.

In Hawaii, economic and environmental choices often go hand-in-hand. Our state’s location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean has created a natural paradise which draws people from all over the world who, in turn, bring economic prosperity to the state through our tourism industry. However, it is also undeniable that sustainability and clean energy are essential to Hawaii due to our bearings in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Tourism and development demand tremendous amounts of energy, land, and resources. Some argue that we must continue to exploit our land and resources for tourism and development, which supports us financially. Not only does Hawaii’s economy depend on others, but Hawaii as a whole is pathetically dependent on others in every aspect. The dependence on imports that we are currently imprisoned to threatens our resources and our way of life. Currently, 95% of Hawaii’s energy comes at great cost from imported fossil fuels. Every year, 47.2 million barrels of oil, or roughly 34 barrels per person in Hawaii, are

In comparison, the mock confederation bill spoke of obtaining the islands of St. Pierre and Miqueloy through purchase and fighting the British for Rupert's Land. The official Canada, despite not writing about it within their confederation bill, still went through in acquiring lands at later times but by purchasing Rupert's land and ignoring the islands. Supposedly the reason for this is, in official documents, it only ends in disappointment like the Manifest Destiny if the acquisition of land is written

The United States Of America should annex Hawaii to their country. First of all, annexing the island of Hawaii means that it can support the U.S war strategies. Another reason to annex Hawaii is because the government could get more profit from Hawaii.

In the early 1800’s Britain has been using impressment on our American sailors and escaped ex British sailors they also have been putting them in the British navy. Josiah Quincy “a federalist” was a man who did not agree with waging war with Britain. In his speech he said “ for what purpose to invade Canada? For territory? No. You have enough of that. Citizens refugees? No. you would be willing to dispense with them. Plunder? This is the only hope an invitation of Canada can offer you.”(Quincy) This shows that there would be nothing to gain from invading Canada. The only thing you can get from invading Canada would be adding to the national debt. Some might argue that we are losing pride by not taking up arms and fighting the British. However
