I said that America IS an empire but only in some ways. heres the first paragraph for my essay:
“Empire is not quite right but it seems to be closer to anything else we have in common usage, so we employ it.” (Michael Mandelbaum). Mandelbaum does not consider USA an empire, and either does our president. USA has many traits, such as poverty, spread of ideas, and international trade, some of the few traits Rome used to have. Our poor struggle from poverty, just like Rome’s poor did too and we have spread ideas around the world like Rome spread their ideas around Europe. USA is very well considered an empire, but how?
