I think American Isolationism is a good idea. It keeps the nation peace since it deters us from any unnecessary wars or problems in other countries. Plus, our nation is not obligated to step in when other countries are being unrightfully attacked. It might be the morally right thing to do, but we have to take the citizens of America into account. Our nation's responsibility is to protect and serve the people. If we don't have the manpower or the morale to fight, then we're simply adding to the death count. On page 623 it states, "The U.S. forces suffered 10,000 casualties in the three-week battle..." Before America had even joined the war, the government started preparing by securing enough men, money, food, and supplies (U.S. History 612).
