The anti-imperialists opposed expansion, believing that imperialism violated the fundamental principle that just republican government must derive from "consent of the governed."
Personal Voice
" Shall we go on conferring our Civilization upon the peoples that sit in darkness, or shall we give those poor things a rest?..... Extending the Blessings of Civilization to our brother who sits in darkness has been a good trade and has paid well, on the whole; and there is money in it yet....but not enough, in my judgment, to make any considerable risk advisable"
-Mark Twain
