UNCLE SAM'S WEDDING (tune Yankee Doodle)
When Uncle Sam set up his house,
He welcomed every brother,
But in the haste of his new life
He quite forgot his mother.
Now his house is up in arms,
A keeper he must find him,
To sweep and dust and set to rights
The tangles all about him.
Uncle Sam is long in years
And he is growing wiser;
He now can see 'twas a mistake
To have no Miss-advisor.
Now we're here dear Uncle Sam
To help you in your trouble;
And the first thing best to do
Is making you a double.

Question #580 Statistics:
Read the following Primary Source Documents for the next two questions. (#58 & #59)
1. "American factories are making more than the American people can use; American soil is producing more than they can consume. Fate has written our policy for us; the trade of the world must and shall be ours... Our institutions will follow our flag on the wings of commerce."
2. "The founders... made it an unwritten law that no area should be brought within the bounds of the Republic which did not and could not, sustain a race equipped in all essentials for the maintenance of free civilization and, capable of upholding within its boundaries a republican form of government. Therefore, if we adopt a policy of acquiring tropical countries, where republics cannot live, we overturn the theory upon which this Government is established."
3. "Having therefore no foreign establishments, either colonial or military, the ships of war of the United States, in war, will be like land birds, unable to fly far from their own shores. To provide resting places for them, where they can coal and repair, would be one of the first duties of a government proposing to itself the development of the power of the nation at sea..."
4. ". . . the work which the English race began when it colonized North America is destined to go on until every land on the earth's surface that is not already the seat of an old civilization shall become English in its language, in its religion, in its political habits and traditions, and to a predominant extent in the blood of its people..."
