The Monroe Doctrine And Other Addresses (1898)

By Alfred Augustus Stockton

Book Overview

The Monroe Doctrine and Other Addresses is a collection of speeches delivered by Alfred Augustus Stockton in 1898. The book is named after the famous Monroe Doctrine, which was a statement of United States foreign policy that declared any attempt by European powers to colonize or interfere in the affairs of the Americas as a threat to the national security of the United States. In addition to the Monroe Doctrine, Stockton's speeches cover a range of topics related to American foreign policy, including the Spanish-American War, the annexation of Hawaii, and the role of the United States in world affairs. Stockton was a prominent lawyer and political figure in the late 19th century, and his speeches reflect his belief in American exceptionalism and the country's responsibility to spread its values and influence throughout the world. Overall, The Monroe Doctrine and Other Addresses provides a fascinating insight into the mindset of American leaders at the turn of the 20th century and their vision for the country's role in global affairs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
