Foreign Policyand Progressive Presidents
Theodore Roosevelt: Roosevelt Corollary- To ensure peace and stability in Latin America through US intervention. “ All that this country desires is to see the neighboring countries stable, orderly, and prosperous. Any country whose people conduct themselves well can count upon our hearty friendship . . Chronic wrongdoing, or an impotence which results in a general loosening of the ties of civilized society, may in America, as elsewhere, ultimately require intervention by some civilized nation, and in the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United States” - Congress 1905
Foreign Policy and Progressive Presidents
Taft – “Dollar Diplomacy” - “Next to the right of liberty, the right of property is the most important individual right guaranteed by the Constitution...has contributed more to the growth of civilization” .
