Description:Excerpt from Expansion and Imperialism: Address Delivered by Judge H. C. McDougal, Before the Union Veteran Patriotic League, at Kansas City, Missouri, September 1st, 1900 From the dawn of time, one of the highest desires of man has been to own, possess and hold lands, and from the day that Abram's name was changed to Abraham, and the Lord granted him the land wherein he was a stranger all the land of Canaan for an everlasting posses sion - the chosen people of the Lord have been natural born land owners and expansionists. In looking backward through the centuries, history demonstrates that those nations having the highest and best types of civilization, which do most to uplift, upbuild and better the conditions of humanity, as England, Germany, France, Russia and later the United States, wherever public interest demanded and the power was possessed, have subserved that interest and exercised that power by the extension of their public domain. This is but the onward march of civilization. Sluggish, slow, dull, non-progressive nations, as China, and the like, are never expansionists. The plain truth, however, is that the question of expansion has not been so much a question of abstract right, as of power and interest. Will it pay? Will the material interests of the country be advanced and bettered by the acquisition of new territory? Have we the power and the right, under the laws of war and of nations, to take it? If so, the might has made the right, and the coveted territory was absorbed. This was notably true as respects the territory we acquired from Mexico in 1848.
