To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Suppose Cuba or Mexico or Central America annexed to us, how would you govern them? I have shown they were in no condition to adopt se^/'-government. The restraining, controlling influences of Amer- ican civilization would have no influence over them. They are in no degree "Americanized. '' They are ignorant of our institutions, laws, and customs. The high moral considerations and love of patriotism which prompt loyal American citizens to obey the laws of their country, would be to them conside...rations weaker than the flimsy texture of a spider's web. There is but one answer to the question; they would have to be governed by a military despot- ism. They have been educated to this mode of Government. In Mexico, military chieftains have ruled the country for years. They govern it now. If the people were capable of self-government, these military despots would be powerless, so far as their schemes of personal ambition are con- cerned. So it is with Cuba. The people there are gov- erned by a standing army.
