What is the central idea of the passage colonialism in the united states by henry cabot?

Henry Cabot was most noticeable with this participation with other countries' disagreement with United States colonialism of the Republic of The Philippines.

He viewed that there was no violation of the declaration of independence with US taking over the Philippines as one of its colony as it has never known liberty before once. By being protected and governed by the military power of US, he viewed that the US has provided the Philippines a sense of Liberty and was in no violation of its independence serving as its protector and liberator.
