Dear President Roosevelt,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my thoughts on the important decision the United States must make regarding whether to pursue a course of pro- or anti-imperialism.
After reviewing the information from the chart, it is evident that economic expansion and increased political power are some of the benefits of imperialism. The United States has advanced significantly in these aspects, and involvement in imperialistic actions could potentially lead to even more growth and development.
However, I cannot ignore the concerns raised regarding the abandonment of self-government, perpetuation of inequality, and loss of cultural autonomy that come hand in hand with imperialism. As a nation that prides itself on freedom, democracy, and equal rights, it is crucial that we carefully consider the potential consequences of our choices.
While economic expansion and increased political power are undoubtedly appealing, we must not forget the core values that our nation stands for. Self-government, equality, and cultural autonomy are the foundations upon which our great nation was built, and it is essential that we strive to maintain and uphold these principles.
In conclusion, it is my belief that the United States should opt for a course of anti-imperialism. We can continue to pursue economic growth and political influence through alternative means while ensuring that we do not sacrifice the very principles that make us who we are as a nation.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
