Prior to the Civil War, many northerners were opposed to acquiring more territory in the west because they feared the spread of slavery. After the Spanish-American War, some of the old "Radical Republicans" and other members of Congress opposed the idea of acquiring colonies. A large portion of the Democratic Party, led by William Jennings Bryan, opposed annexation of colonies. Anti-imperialists reminded the nation of our anti colonial heritage. They quoted Lincoln in reminding the nation that no man is good enough to govern another man without that man's consent. Many anti-imperialists were racists or appealed to those with racist ideas. They questioned whether is was wise to bring "nonwhite" people "under our flag." Many simply opposed Imperialism because it would be too costly and would force the US to send American troops into "harm's way" to put down any resistance to our taking over other lands.

Answer 4

In the past, when imperialism flourished, any nations policy of imperialism could affect that nations domestic and foreign affairs. In the area of domestic affairs, especially when imperialism takes advantage of a weaker nations cheaper labor to produce certain products, then the more expensive labor in the "home country" may be disrupted.

Here's an example of this: When the British Empire dominated Egypt, Britain had great influence over that nations economy. Egypt produced cotton and goods created by this important crop. Thus, cotton products from Egypt could be imported to Great Britain much cheaper than the process of importing the raw cotton & having cotton products produced in Britain. This would adversely impact the cotton mills and textile industry at "home". It could force lay-offs among workers and/or close down factories involved with cotton because the domestic costs were now undercut by Egypt's cotton and production.
