E. Believed that American energies should be directed at home, not abroad.

Explanation:

Anti-Imperialist League was an organisation stablished in 1898. Their main goal was to battle the American annexation of the Philippines as an insular area.

So, anti-imperialists were against the expansionist government alleging that resources must be concentrated in the Nation, not outside. Instead wasting energies to expand, they must solve national problems, that was part of the goals to Anti-Imperialists League.
