You are an American citizen in the time period of this unit. Write a brief letter to a citizen of another country that the United States is expanding to during this time period. Share why, from your perspective, this expansion is good.

In the letter explain why the United States taking on an imperial position is bad from your perspective. Include the issues of expansion, foreign policy (specifically the shift from isolationism to intervention helped the U.S. become a superpower), and trade as well as other areas of interest to you.

If it is easier, you may write several short letters.

Your response should be a minimum 300 words in length.
