It was the spirit of Manifest Destiny that sent Americans west, sowing the seeds of the American empire. The result was a federal government that became increasingly expansionist, centralized, and militarized.
This is the focus of the next video in our animated series America: From Republic to Empire.
This expansionist impulse is not unique to the American experiment, of course. In this video, we look at how the state's desire to increase its power has led to abuse and disaster throughout history.
Focusing on war and the state, America: From Republic to Empire is the Mises Institute’s newest animated series. If you missed our first two episodes, "What Is Empire?" and "Standing Armies," you can catch up now!
This project was made possible by the generosity of Jim Kluttz.
