Thurs., Oct.22

F Period-
Today, we delved into the topic of American Imperialism.
We first asked ourselves, "What is imperialism?"
Then we took a look at some nifty documents giving some insight into what lay behind the imperial impulse... We discussed the continuing influence of the American belief in "Manifest Destiny," Social-darwinist explanations of the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race, and the economic push to find new markets for American goods.

Homework:
Reading Packet, Beyond Manifest Destiny...
Complete "Study Guide-Part I" which goes along with the reading. DUE MONDAY.

B Period-
You can end your panic attack, the essay test is over! Go home, be happy. No homework is due for tomorrow.
