Thank you We sneak Here's your shmoop du jour Brought

00:06

to you by the present tense A perfect time for

00:08

gifts All right Give this excerpt a gander as in

00:12

all parts whether island placed our small cost indians around

00:20

And the question thie admiral described above would most likely

00:23

agree with the ideals of which of the following and

00:26

hear your potential answers Big words So what's up with

00:32

this admiral he leaves across wherever he goes He wants

00:35

to build a tiny fortress maybe even plant a little

00:39

garden and all on land He's just discovering for the

00:42

first time the which one of these terms in the

00:44

question best represents that idea So let's just start with

00:48

a isolationism Well isolationism is the idea that one country

00:52

should stay out of other countries Bidness But this admiral

00:56

is building and planting and making himself comfortable He seems

00:59

pretty intent on being involved So a campy it What

01:03

about b abolitionism Okay hold on Explorers like the admiral

01:08

enslave millions of american indians and africans in their quest

01:12

to conquer new lands And abolitionism was the movement and

01:16

slavery So moving on take a look at seek anti

01:20

imperialism Well we know That imperialism means conquering other people's

01:24

land in order to expand your own empire So anti

01:28

imperialism means you'd be against that And if our admiral

01:32

is hooked on anything it's the sweet sweet taste of

01:35

annexing other people's territory so i don't see it It's

01:39

All that's left is deep manifest destiny No manifest destiny

01:42

was the idea that god created the american continent specifically

01:45

for white settlers to basically be destined to go west

01:49

And those settlers were obligated to conquer the territory and

01:52

civilized it's natives So d is the best fit to

01:55

this question And manifest destiny is it sounds like just 00:01:59.235 --> [endTime] what admiral order
