Instructions: Read the following primary source quotes. Analyze each to determine whether the author was in favor of or against the annexation of the Philippines and why. Use SOAPS strategy boxes
1.
“The Opposition tells us that we ought not to govern a people without their consent. I answer, The rule of liberty that all just government derives its authority from the consent of the governed applies only to those who are capable of selfgovernment. We govern the Indians without their consent, we govern our territories without their consent, we govern our children without their consent … Would not the people of the Philippines prefer the just humane, civilizing government of this Republic to the savage, bloody rule of pillage and extortion from which we have rescued t hem?”
- From The Meaning of the Times Senator Albert J. Beveridge United States Senator
2.
“A harbor and coaling station in the Philippines would answer every trade and military necessity and such a concession could have been secured at any time without difficulty. It is not necessary to own people in order to trade with them. We carry on trade today with every part of the world, and our commerce has expanded more rapidly than the commerce of any European empire. … Imperialism finds no warrant in the Bible. The command ‘Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature’ has no Gatling gun attachment …”
- From Speeches of William Jennings Bryan
3.
“When I next realized that the Philippines had dropped into our laps I confess I did not know what to do with them. I sought counsel from all sides —Democrats as well as Republicans—but got little help. . . . And one night late it came to me this way —I don’t know how it was, but it came: (1) That we could not give them back to Spain—that would be cowardly and dishonorable; (2) that we could not turn them over to France and Germany —our commercial rivals in the
Orient —that would be bad business and discreditable; (3) that we could not leave them to themselves—they were unfit for self-government —and they would soon have anarchy and misrule over there worse than Spain’s was; and (4) that there was nothing left for us to do but to take them all, and to educate the Filipinos, and uplift and civilize and Christianize them, and by God’s grace do the very best we could by them, as our fellow-men for whom Christ also died."
—James Rusling, “Interview with President William McKinley,” The Christian Advocate , January 1903
