William McKinley actively sought territorial expansion during his
tenure as President of the United States as a means to stimulate
the domestic economy and increase American international prestige.
This expansion was critical to the continued economic growth of the
United States and its emergence as a world power. This report looks
at McKinley's expansionist foreign policy and asserts it was tied
directly to attaining economic markets and prosperity for the
United States and not, as is commonly believed, a moral duty to
help our ?little brown brothers.?1 This foreign policy designed to
achieve economic growth conflicted with what many believed were the
very foundations of our Constitution, the belief that no man should
be ruled by another without consent. America had gained its
independence from Great Britain because of the widespread
acceptance of this belief and now, a little more than a hundred
years later, the country was contemplating colonialism because it
was sound business.
