Descrição:

Blamed the Spanish for the explosion. Emerged a debate of whether or not the US should acquire a empire along social darwinist lines. Those who opposed did so because they thought it would entail the migration of unwated people into the US (racism). Those who did want argued similiar lines that the civilized nations of the world should teach others and would do so through empires (social darwinism)
