American Anti-imperialist League

The American Anti-Imperialist League was formed on June 15, 1898 to fight U.S. annexation of the Philippines and other U.S. insular areas on economic, legal, moral, and even racial grounds. Its president was George S. Boutwell, a former United States Secretary of the Treasury. Well-known members included Jane Addams, Andrew Carnegie, Grover Cleveland, John Dewey, William Dean Howells, William James, David Starr Jordan, Samuel Gompers, Josephine Shaw Lowell, Carl Schurz, William Graham Sumner, Mark Twain, and Oswald Garrison Villard. The League underwent a number of organizational changes and internal squabbles in its early years, due initially to its endorsement of William Jennings Bryan in the 1900 presidential election. It was disbanded in 1921.
