🔴 🇺🇸 American imperial exceptionalism? Texas secondary World History depictions of American empire, 1925–2016

_After describing American imperial activity in the late nineteenth century, the authors of the 1961 text Men and Nations: A World History claimed that by establishing “an empire of colonies and protectorates in the Caribbean and the Pacific” the United States “had taken its place as one of the great powers of the world”. [63] The authors claimed that the United States possessed a humane and civilising empire: “Probably the countries were never better governed or enjoyed greater freedom from wars, revolutions, financial crises, and national bankruptcies. Yet these benefits were not always welcomed by the Latin Americans”._
