The Spanish American war really was America's one imperialistic adventure, but you could easily argue that these colonies were much better off under American control than under Spanish.

But whats really a hoot is reading criticisms about American imperialism from Brits.

MUCH better!

Of course those places were better off under our jurisdiction.

However, the US did not become better off by becoming a colonial power. Totally UN-American. ....And IMNVHO, not constitutional, either.
