Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Empire and Armament, the Evolution of American Imperialism, and the Problem of National Defence If I were asked to state what I believed to be the most practical method of procedure for American pacifists, I should unhesitatingly answer, the honest writing of history for the rising generation. I It may be patriotism to present the history of I ones country in the best possible light, but, in the I United States, we have gone beyond patriotism I by actually misrepresenting the facts to our own advantage. It is just that kind of mistaken patriotism which tends to convince the American people that they have always been peculiarly just and pacific, and that fosters among them the growth and continuance of a spirit of intolerance and aggression. The American people should learn from history that the United States has not been a white dove among political hawks, if only that they may profit by the errors that have been made in the past. If they were fully aware how much they have provoked other nations, and how little they have really contributed to the cause of international peace, concerning which they talk so much, and in which, by reason of their indefensive condition, their interest lies, they would regard international questions with a spirit more conducive to that peace they profess to cherish.
