And why not cite examples of ALL your claims?
The USA did not stay isolationist. Ever hear of the American annexation of the Philippines?
Another thing I take issue with is that you are excusing what wrong we've done because other countries may have wronged just as much in the past.
"It's okay that we supported two different genocides because some other countries also did bad things!"
Reeks of whataboutism.
Plessy V. Ferguson —> Brown V. Board of education —> more expansive civil rights laws of the 60s for a domestic example, also the apology and and reimbursement of the Japanese interned in the 40s, and the Marshall plan and rebuilding Germany and Japan is a good example abroad.
I know we didn’t stay isolationist, I never said otherwise. I said we dropped it starting in the 20th century and fully abandoned post WW2
So the US had to expand civil rights through court cases because just obeying the Constitution was too hard, huh?
And the Philippine-American war ended in 1898, so there's your 'started in the 20th century'.
Well yes. This is the issue that our country was divided on since its inception. Constitutional affairs have never been quite so cut and dry. It took nearly two centuries, but the power of our system enabled us to reach that point. And that’s basically splitting hairs. It’s the ass end of the 19th century/very beginning of the 20th. And during that time period we were only trying to keep up with the contemporary colonial powers of the time.
Also, the inherent contradiction of slavery and colonialism and the constitution from the start was already dissolving the latter institutions. It didn’t last very long. Americans colonial history is a blip compared to some the other big European colonial machines.
America doesn't get a bad rep for colonialism because they didn't directly take the land.
They set up puppets instead.
