Many Americans opposed U.S. control of more land due to concerns about the implications for slavery, as the expansion could lead to the spread of slave states and intensify regional tensions. Others believed that Imperialism contradicted the nation's founding principles of self-determination and democracy. Additionally, there were fears of overextending military resources and potential conflicts with other nations and indigenous populations. This opposition was fueled by a growing sentiment for isolationism and a desire to focus on domestic issues.
