Are you honestly Implying we aren't an empire?
If we weren't one due to the Louisiana Purchase or the Annexation of Texass, we became one for sure after the Mexican War. We've been a global empire since the Spanish-American War landed us Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines, and I believe that's also when we acquired American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Oh, yeah, and we annexed Hawaii before all of that.
