Excerpt #1
“…as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers. . .”
Excerpt #2
“In the wars of the European powers in matters relating to themselves we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy to do so. It is only when our rights are invaded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries or make preparation for our defense.”

Excerpt #3
We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable (friendly) relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.”

Excerpt #4
“It is impossible that the allied powers (European countries that are allied) should extend their political system to any portion of either continent without endangering our peace and happiness; nor can anyone believe that our southern brethren (Central and South America), if left to themselves, would adopt it of their own accord.”

Summaries
a. If any European country tries to regain control in North or South America, they are also effecting the future of the United States. Our friends to the south of us want to be left alone as well.

b. The United States and many other countries in our hemisphere have fairly won their independence and will no longer allow European countries to colonize here.

c. The United States has always maintained a policy of neutrality and will continue do so. However, if we feel threatened or harmed in any way we defend ourselves.

d. We consider any European country trying to recolonize in our part of the world as a threat to our own safety.
