I have brought excellence back to this country, I am the master of the seas and there is no one that even compares to me. I have one the battle, and found new lands for my America. People throw parades in my honor. I am very pro imperialist, it is clearly shown in my leading of the army in the fight for the Philippines. We wanted to boost the American navy and we did just that we are now number one in the world. I was the first step in the annexation process. I was very much in favor for the annexation of the phillipines because i risked my life to fight for them.
