What is Schurz about?

This document contains the 1899 speech given by US Senator Carl Schurz at the Anti-Imperialist Conference in Chicago. In the speech, Schurz argues that the US war with Spain over Cuba was proclaimed as a war of liberation, not conquest, but that the subsequent annexation of the Philippines goes against this stated purpose and has troubled the American conscience. Schurz notes that like the Cubans, the Filipinos had long been fighting for their independence from Spain and were equally deserving of freedom. H
