  1. Do Now: Discuss the question assigned to your group and be prepared to present a summary of the discussion to the whole class.

  2. Question 1: Should a nation strive to be powerful? In what way(s)? Question 2: Should powerful nations expand beyond their borders? Under what conditions? Question 3: As a powerful nation, what role should the US play on the world stage? Question 4: What potential issues does a government have to address as its nation increases its power?

  3. 11-14 Objective: Trace the historical development of US foreign policy. Guiding Question: To what extent should the US assert its power and protect and/or promote its interests on the world stage?

  4. “The Great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little POLITICAL connection as possible… Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation… Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground?-Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition…Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world.” Main Points:

  5. “The American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers…we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.” Compare this to the previous excerpt. To what extent is it a deviation from that policy?

  6. WHAT CHANGED? A. B. C.

  7. How might these new conditions influence Americans’ thinking?
