The History of the United States and Imperialism

i consider imperialism to be part and parcel of the very same historical process that started out as colonialism. i personally see them as different stages of the same basic historical process funneled through the crucible of their shared underlying economic system capitalism so now that we have some basic definitions on the table of both settler colonialism and imperialism in this next section part three we're going to expand out from those definitions and apply these concepts a little more concretely. I'm going to start out by talking about how the united states is a settler colony and then explaining how the u.s is still a settler colonial entity today and how that shapes its politics and society.
