and south america got a lot of rebellions against the spanish empire. all of these rebels sent envoys to the united states. they claimed they had read the declaration of independence, they're doing exactly what we have done and they requested the support and assistance and the money and the arms of the united states. they were wildly popular causes in the united states. everyone wanted to support them. in fact, in munro's cabinet everyone wanted to support them except for john quincy adams. john quincy adams told them and said so in several famous species -- speeches, we wish you well. america goes not abroad in search of officers to destroy. what explains this restraint? i would argue the same thing that explains athens desire to push across the north american continent, undermining european claims for territorial control in america. what adams argued was that if the united states were to support these rebels, if it were decent money, men and arms overseas, it would provide the pretext of a justification for any european power to intervene in north ame

it was true of the spanish and french islands. cuba was the last part of spanish america to get its independence from spain. it is less impressed by the fact that they did not rebel. what i was really fascinated by was why didn't they even write pamphlets against the stamp act, the townshend duties, against this new trend in british authority to introduce more direct government? they say almost nothing. we know enough that they did not like those policies, but they would later become extremely vociferous and extremely political against the slave trade. why didn't they on this occasion? one of the ideas circulating in america, common sense, reached the islands and circulated. there were social connections with america. i feel i must mention here that george washington's only visit abroad was to the islands of barbados. he went there at a time when he hadn't visited many parts of the 13 colonies. he went there with his older half-brother, lawrence washington, who was ill. lawrence washington later died and left george washington [in

but the spanish empire is weak and you'll threaten to use force. now, if spreading across north america sometimes do demanded aggression adams also argued it rite restraint. so when adams was secretary of state, america was offered the opportunity, as some took it to spread the republican values spread liberty around the world. the greeks had gone into rebellion guess the turks. in south america you had a lot of of rebellions against the spanish empire and all of these rebels sent envoys to the united states. they claim they had read their declaration of independence, they were doing exactly what we had done and they requested the support and assistance and the money and the arms of the united states. they were wildly popular causes in the united states. everyone wanted to support him in monroe's cab not everyone wanted to support them except for john quincy adams. he told them, and said so in several famous speeches, we wish you well, we their well-wisher of all but the defenders only of our own. the most famous words america goes not abroad in se
