 * Colonies will provide cheap labor but take away jobs from americans.
 * Many anti-imperialist stated that "A country doesn't need colonies to be successful at international trade" and that there will be an increase in trade if the American products are better than any other nations.
 * It is wrong for Americans to determine another countries fate.
