Imperialism: He supported American control of territories
Some U.S. territories are uninhabited due to their remote locations, lack of natural resources, or harsh environmental conditions that make habitation difficult. For example, territories like Baker Island and Howland Island are small, arid, and devoid of freshwater sources, which limit their suitability for human settlement. Additionally, historical factors, such as military use or conservation efforts, have led to these areas remaining unpopulated.
