Unit Description

It was chiefly the Spanish War which caused the American people slowly and reluctantly to realize a new state of things – that the ocean was no longer a barrier in a political or military sense, and that the fate of each nation was irrevocably bound up with the fate of all. All thoughtful men saw that a new era needed a new policy; the wise, however, were not willing to give up all that they had acquired in the experience of the past. They remembered that the separation of continents was not proclaimed as an end in itself but as a means of securing the right of self-government on the part of the United States; second, the securing of the right of other nations to govern themselves. These fundamental American purposes remained, but it was plain that the situation would force the nation to find some different method of realizing them.

Leading Ideas and Biblical Principles

[list type=”arrow”]

• God is sovereign over the affairs of men.
  • From one man He made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. — Acts 17:26
• Scripture addresses the Christian’s Responsibility to Government.
  • Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is the servant of God to execute his wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay all of them their dues, taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due. — Romans 13:1-7
