So the Spanish American war was not imperialistic... Or the US controlling most of South America (Monroe Doctrine)... How about taking control of most of North America from the First Nations through genocidal actions?

Your claim is not based in the actual history of the US, but instead viewing it through a politicized and simplistic lens.

Other than an incredible brief era at the start of the US, we've been imperialistic in our foreign policy.
