Critical Thinking 18-5!

In the fallowing passage, how does Indiana Senator Albert J. Beveridge explain the need for the the U.S to accuire new territories?
" Fate has written our policy for us; the trade of the world must and shall be ours... we will establish trading posts throughout the world as distributing points for American products... Great colonies governing themselves, flying our flag and trading with us, will grow about our post of trade."

In this quote Beveridge explains why it is a very important thing for america to keep expanding. He states that it is fate for america to keep growing and that the trade of the world must be ours. He thinks that we are supposed to be this strong and it is not right to question if we should have this much control because it is our fate. America has to set up trades post all over the world so that they will have control of trade all over the world in these new territoies, this way american trade and products can be distributed everywhere. He states that if we keep expanding and creating colonies all over the world, it will unite the different counties the colonies are in. All the coloines would be self governed but will trade the same way and fly our flag and be united with us and help stengthen us as we help streghen them. Not only will this trade control bring unity but it will also stregthen the other countrys and they will grow and florish due to our tading posts.
