Good post. 1898 was a transformational year in U.S. history in a bad way.

It marked the first time we engaged in a military campaign to control territory outside the borders of the U.S. without ever intending to annex it as future U.S. states. That’s when the U.S. ended as a nation and officially became an empire.
