Progressive Era Foreign Policy Acts


The Panama Canal Tolls Act of 1912~ repealed by Wilson 2 years later; had exempted Am's from shipping tolls=Brits really mad at unfairness.


Jones Act 1916~Anti-Imp, like Wilson; Philippines got territorial status and would be given independence whenever they could establish a stable gov't (30 years later)
