The book delves into the emergence of the United States as an empire, exploring its political evolution and the implications of its expansionist policies. It addresses historical themes including colonization, the impact of industrialization, and the social consequences of America’s imperial ambitions. At the start of the book, Nearing outlines the founding principles of the American Republic, referencing the ideals established during the revolutionary fervor of 1776, which emphasized liberty and equality. He contrasts these ideals with the reality of growing class privileges and the systematic subjugation of Native Americans and other marginalized groups. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for a critical analysis of how America transitioned from a republic founded on democratic ideals into an imperial power, raising essential questions about freedom, inequality, and the moral costs of empire-building in the context of both domestic and foreign policy.
