About this document
Filibusters in 19th Century America by lucbinion is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A filibuster is an individual who engages in unauthorized military expeditions to support political revolutions, particularly by Americans in Latin America during the mid-19th century. Notable filibusters like William Walker sought to establish pro-American regimes, often violating U.S. neutrality laws while gaining public support through sensationalist media. The phenomenon reflects broader themes of American imperialism, masculinity, and the connection to slavery in antebellum politics.
