  2. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ πŸ’΅ πŸ“– **Forsyth on Bridges, 'Dollars and Dominion: US Bankers and the Making of a Superpower'**

    β€œ_The author writes that by focusing on finance she is analyzing the infrastructure of America’s global expansion. Territorial expansion, beginning with the Spanish-American War, meant that the American state required an infrastructure of payments and finance, and so did American business as it internationalized. The decisive events in this narrative include the Spanish-American War, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, World War I, the recession of 1920-21, and the Great Depression._”

  13. "The Invisible Empire was a product of an affective urge to recreate a mythical past based on religious and racial homogeneity, and Klansmen therefore sought to embody a self-proclaimed ideal for what they claimed signified true Americanism. This ideal included notions of patriotism, nativism, white supremacism, and Protestant theology."
