Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I runga i te take o te whakawhānui o te koroni o Amerika, i whakaaro tonu a Carnegie he tohu poauau mo te United States. Kāore ia i te whakahē i te whakakotahitanga o ngā moutere o Hawaiki, o Puerto Rico rānei, engari i whakahē ia i te
te whakakotahitanga o ngā Piripi. I whakapono a Carnegie he whakakahore i te kaupapa manapori taketake, a ka akiaki ia i a William McKinley ki te whakahoki i nga hoia Amerika me te tuku i nga Filipino ki te noho me to raatau mana motuhake. Ko tenei mahi i tino miharo ki etahi atu o nga anti-imperialist o Amerika, nana nei ia i kowhiria hei perehitini tuarua mo te Anti-Imperialist League.
