The Anti-Imperialist League was formed in 1898 in response to the increasingly expansionist foreign policies of the United States. Its membership was diverse, including Republicans, Democrats, economists, and socialists - all united in the feeling that imperialism was the antithesis to American liberty (see Tompkins 2). Mark Twain was a prominent member of the group and supported the League with his social connections and writings (see Hamlin Hill, "Samuel Langhorne Clemens" in Pizer and Harbert). The Anti-Imperialist League was dissolved in 1920 when its members believed that their work was done (see Tompkins 289). More information on Mark Twain and the Anti-Imperialist League can be found in Jim Zwick's scholarly publications.
