First, Puerto Rico was "not" conquered by the United States. It was invaded by the United States and ceded by Spain. Militarily the Puerto Rican Campaign was inconclusive since a cease fire was declared. |

Why is it that it is spelled Gonzales v. Williams if her name is really spelled "González" |
|
Second, It is of common knowledge that if the protections of the United States Constitution do not apply it would also include the rights of citizenship. |

*That is a good question. When Hispanics and people from non-Anglo countries immigrated to the United States in the 19th Century, the immigration officials would post their names as they believed sounded in English. In other words many Gonzalez's became Gonzales' and Gomez's became Gomes and so on. That is why you have a so-called typo in Isabel's surname. ] (]) 03:45, 5 April 2014 (UTC) |

Third, Do not delete a complete section which leads into the understanding of the "Downes v. Bidwell" case of 1901" which in turn is imperative to the understanding of the "Gonzalez v Williams" case. |

Even back then, wouldn't the case have originated in the ], then been appealed to the then-applicable ], and then onto SCOTUS? I'm not hugely familiar with the former, historical stylings of every district and circuit, but I somehow doubt that Southern New York ever constituted an entire circuit; I would suggest that it is more likely that even back then it was a district, but I am refraining from editing, wishing to defer to someone who has ] on this. ] (]) 22:35, 29 April 2017 (UTC) |

:I have no "POV" here nor has the article been "rewritten". I come to the article armed solely with my knowledge of US history and see a substantial number of details irrelevant to an article about Isabel Gonzalez. I have no objection to your interpretation of how Puerto Rico came into US hands, but it seems relevant to mention that there was a war that took place in that context. The article, as written contains numerous claims of imperialism, which are not only contested but are not relevant here and have been removed. Details regarding name changes to "Porto Rico" and back to "Puerto Rico" do not appear relevant to the discussion of citizenship for Isabel Gonzalez. ] (]) 20:35, 11 September 2008 (UTC) |

== Puerto Rican Draft WWI == |
|
*Hello Alansohn, I do not mind your deletion of the word "imperialism", however it is a fact and not my interpretation of how Puerto Rico came into US hands. I'm surprised that you who are interested in history will fail to accept the fact that the United States was in an expansionism process during that period which we historians call imperialism. |

] your source does not actually state PRs were extended citizenship for the purpose of drafting them, in fact it expressly claims that the draft was only extended to PR months later at a time when the draft was imposed on all Americans. My research heavily suggests that the assertion the US gave PRs citizenship to draft them into WWI lacks basis, originating as a claim by PR Nationalists opposed to the Jones Act but lacking substantiation. I was going to undo your edit but upon checking you page, in addition to having tremendous respect for you both as an individual (my Dad served in Vietnam 67-69) and as an editor who also seems like someone who may be an expert in this area and can provide greater insight. ] (]) 08:29, 26 September 2020 (UTC) |

However, I will post once again the section which you have continue to delete. It is important for the reader to understand why in the "Gonzalez V William" case "Puerto Rico" was referred to as "Porto Rico" and that it is not a typo. It is also important for the reader to understand the restrictions imposed by the United States on the commercial and shipping rights of Puerto Ricans which led to the "Downes v. Bidwell" case of 1901" which in turn influenced the "Gonzalez v Williams". I know that you are well intended and good faith so let's avoid an unwanted edit-war. |

:In fact, that period in US history is known for great debates against imperialism and trusts, and with great internal dissent, including two presidents murdered. Almost any historic academic work on the USA at the period defines it as imperialism, not as a value judgment, but as analogous to the same process in Europe, and an example of the USA coming of age as a nation after a brutal Civil War. Furthermore, the mentions of imperialism come form the source, if you want to contest them, please present sources that illustrate that there is a debate around this view. If there is, am afraid it is probably a fringe view, as the historical view of the period, regardless of school of historical thought, is that it was a period of imperialism.
