Period 7 Exam Block 6 Name
“In 1789 the flag of the Republic waved over 4,000,000 souls in thirteen states, and their savage territory which
stretched to the Mississippi, to Canada, to the Floridas. The timid minds of that day said that no new territory was
needed; and, for the hour, they were right. But [Thomas] Jefferson, through whose intellect the centuries marched;
Jefferson, who dreamed of Cuba as an American state; Jefferson, the first Imperialist of the Republic—Jefferson
acquired that imperial territory which swept from the Mississippi to the mountains, from Texas to the British
possessions, and the march of the flag began! . . . Jefferson, strict constructionist of constitutional power though he
was, obeyed the Anglo-Saxon impulse within him. . . . And now obeying the same voice that Jefferson heard and
obeyed, that [Andrew] Jackson heard and obeyed, that [James] Monroe heard and obeyed, that [William] Seward
heard and obeyed, that [Ulysses] Grant heard and obeyed, that [Benjamin] Harrison heard and obeyed, our
President today plants the flag over the islands of the seas, outposts of commerce, citadels of national security, and
the march of the flag goes on!”

“We must have tax reform. The method of raising revenue ought not to impede the transaction of business; it ought
to encourage it. I am opposed to extremely high rates, because they produce little or no revenue, because they are
bad for the country, and, finally, because they are wrong. We cannot finance the country, we cannot improve social
conditions, through any system of injustice, even if we attempt to inflict it upon the rich. Those who suffer the most
harm will be the poor. . . . The wise and correct course to follow in taxation and all other economic legislation is
not to destroy those who have already secured success but to create conditions under which everyone will have a
better chance to be successful.”

“We strongly condemn the cupidity of those nations of the world who, by open aggression or secret schemes, have
seized the territories and inexhaustible natural wealth of Africa, and we place on record our most solemn

“The Negro race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men. The problem of education, then, among
Negroes must first of all deal with the Talented Tenth; it is the problem of developing the Best of this race that they
may guide the Mass away from the contamination and death of the Worst, in their own and other races. Now the
training of men is a difficult and intricate task. Its technique is a matter for educational experts, but its object is for
the vision of seers. If we make money the object of man-training, we shall develop money-makers but not
necessarily men; if we make technical skill the object of education, we may possess artisans but not, in nature, men.
Men we shall have only as we make manhood the object of the work of the schools—intelligence, broad sympathy,
knowledge of the world that was and is, and of the relation of men to it.”
W. E. B. Du Bois, “The Talented Tenth,” 1903

Page 7 of 15
freedoms.
“The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.
“The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.
“The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will
secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.
“The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments
to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical
aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.”
