Annexing the Philippines – President William
McKinley telling of how he came to the decision
• What are the reasons President William McKinley
decides annex the Philippines, (based upon his prayer of
November 21, 1899)?
– “I walked the floor of the White House night after night until midnight, and
I am not ashamed to tell you, gentlemen, that I went down on my knees
and prayed to God Almighty for light and guidance more than one night.
And one night late it came to me this way – I don’t know how it was, but it
came. One, that we could not give the Philippines back to Spain – that
would be cowardly and dishonorable. Two, that we could not turn them
over to France or Germany – our commercial rivals in the Orient – that
would be bad business and discreditable. Three, that we could not leave
them to themselves – they were unfit for self-government – and they
would soon have anarchy and misrule over there worse than Spain’s was.
And, four, that there was nothing left for us to do but to take them all, and
to educate the Filipinos, and uplift them and civilize and Christianize them
…”
