Ever since the time of George Washington, we favored isolationism, preferring to stay out of other nations' problems. Also, Imperialism was seen as a direct, hypocritical contradiction to the Monroe Doctrine. After the government pushed ahead with Imperialism though, the people saw its huge economic and political benefits and began to favor it.
