Motives for British Imperialism

1. Slavery was in decline because it was a goal of foreign policy because slavery was not economically sound. Many people believed in philanthropy to help new people since slavery had been abolished.
2. Halstead disregards ideology and also in the introduction paragraph he rules out national security as well. This is because national security was not high up in the foreign policy. And ideology was removed to simplify imperialism.
3. Halstead believed that imperialism was a method of foreign policy, while others believed it had to do with money, trade, national security, monarchy, and religion.
4. Halstead finalizes that he believes that imperialism was something that had to be done under new foreign policies, and had to do with nothing else.
