• Use page 698 and 700 to COMPARE and

CONTRAST the Platt and Teller

amendments

• Give an example of YELLOW

JOURNALISM

• What event did yellow journalists distort to

push Americans towards WAR?

Use the following terms,

and the cartoon, to

explain the Spanish-

American War:

Yellow Journalism

“Remember the Maine”

“A splendid little war”

• Document B

• O.P. Austin, "Does Colonization Pay" The Forum, 1900

• "Modern progressive nations lying in the temperate zone seek to

control garden spots’ in the tropics. [mainly in Africa, Latin America,

and Asia] Under [the progressive nations] direction, these places

can yield tropical produce. In return, the progressive nations bring to

the people of those garden spots the foodstuffs and manufactures

they need. [Progressive nations] develop the territory by building

roads, canals, railways, and telegraphs. They can establish schools

and newspapers for the colonies [and] give these people the benefit

of other blessings of civilization which they have not the means of

creating themselves."

• Document C

• Source: Henry Cabot Lodge Republican Senator,

Massachusetts

• -Senate Speech, 1900

• …we are in the Philippines as righteously (honorably) as

we are there rightly and legally….The taking of the

Philippines does not violate the principles of the

Declaration of Independence, but will spread them

among a people who have never known liberty, and who

in a few years will be as unwilling to leave the shelter of

the American flag as those of any other territory we ever

brought beneath its folds.

• Document E

• Source: Anti-Imperialist League

• -Party Platform, 1900

• We hold that the policy known as imperialism is

hostile to liberty and tends toward militarism, an

evil from which it has been our glory to be free.

We regret that it has become necessary in the

land of Washington and Lincoln to reaffirm that

all men, of whatever race or color, are entitled to

life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We

maintain that governments derive their just

powers from the consent of the governed. We

insist that the subjugation of any people is

“criminal aggression.”

• Document F

• Export: something that is sold to another country

• Source: Mark Twain, New York World, 1900

• You ask me about what is called imperialism. Well, I have formed

views about that question. I am at the disadvantage of not knowing

whether our people are for or against spreading themselves over the

face of the globe. I should be sorry if they are, for I don’t think that it

is wise or a necessary development…There is the case of the

Philippines. I have tried hard, and yet I cannot for the life of me

comprehend how we got into that mess. Perhaps we could have

avoided it—perhaps it was inevitable that we should come to be

fighting the natives of those islands—but I cannot understand it, and

have never been able to get at the bottom of the origin of our

antagonism to the natives. I thought we should act as their

protector—not try to get them under our heel. We were there to

relieve them from Spanish tyranny, to enable them to set up a

government of their own…But now, why we have got into a mess, a

quagmire from which each fresh step renders the difficulty of

extrication immensely greater.
