The Anti-Imperialist League; Apologia pro vita sua by Erving Winslow, 1839-1922
Erving Winslow, who served as Secretary of the Anti-Imperialistic League, was one of its most prominent spokesmen, and worked all his life to oppose United States imperialistic policies. He wanted to make it clear that war was unnecessary and unrighteous; bringing American hypocrisy to the forefront. During the Philippine-American War, his goal was to have talks between the United States and the Filipino leaders that would lead to a formal promise of Filipino right to self-determination. His work The Anti-Imperialist League; Apologia pro vita sua, describes that, as of 1908, when it was published, the League had circulated more than a million-and-a-half documents over the previous decade; it had promoted many public meetings and had furnished “much matter to the press,” and material for debates to members of Congress and to the representatives of nearly a thousand organizations in colleges, lyceums and schools throughout the United States.
