Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Territories and Dependencies of the United States: Their Government and Administration A full consideration of all questions arising out of the expansion of the United States from its limited territory as comprehended within the boundaries of the original thirteen States to its present extent with over-sea possessions, would involve studies along three quite distinct lines: that of the history proper of the movement, or of the causes leading up to, and the circumstances attending, the actual acquisition of new territory; that of an account of the policy pursued by the United States in granting to these new territories political rights, in determining their relations to itself and in organizing forms of government for them; and that of the examination of the great problems, political, economic and educational, arising out of the possession of such territories. A work dealing with all three of these phases in a broad and comprehensive way would make a welcome addition to existing literature. During the present initial stage, however, of the real study of the colonial problem of the United States, and while the factors of that problem, in its modern aspect at least, are as yet so little determined, the preparation of such a work would be exceedingly difficult and it is more than doubtful whether it could be successfully accomplished.
