âWe hold that the policy known as imperialism is hostile to liberty and tends toward militarism, an evil from which it has been our glory to be free. We regret that it has become necessary in the land of Washington and Lincoln to reaffirm that all men, of whatever race or color, are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We maintain that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. We insist that the subjugation of any people is âcriminal aggressionâ and open disloyalty to the distinctive principles of our Government.â âPlatform of the American Anti-Imperialist League, 1899
Which action would the American Anti-Imperialist League most likely consider âcriminal aggressionâ?
