N2  - When the U.S. liberated the Philippines from Spanish rule in 1898, the exploit was hailed at home as a great moral victory, an instance of Uncle Sam freeing an oppressed country from colonial tyranny. Mining letters, speeches, textbooks, poems, political cartoons and other sources, the author examines the role of religious rhetoric and racial biases in the battle over annexation. Discussing the debates' religious framework and of the evolution of Christiannational identity within the U.S. The book looks at the personalities who dominated the discussion, figures like the bellicose Beveridge and the segregationist Senator Benjamin Tillman. It also features voices from outside U.S. geopolitical boundaries that responded to the Americans' ventureinto global imperialism: among them England's "imperial" poet Rudyard Kipling, Nicaragua's poet/diplomat Ruben Dario, and the Philippines' revolutionary leaders Emilio Aguinaldo and Apolinario Mabini
