Basically the United States aquired Guam and Puerto Rico from Spain and Cuba gained independence(under a heavy US sphere of influence, basically a puppet state). America also agreed to pay spain for these territories. It's important to note the US also annexed the Phillipines from Spain though America would lose control of the Islands and eventually grant the Phillipines independence in the mid 1900s
I guess the last choice ?
On March 24, 1663, Charles II issued a new charter to a group of eight English noblemen, granting them the land of Carolina, as a reward for their faithful support of his efforts to regain the throne of England. The eight were called Lords Proprietors or simply Proprietors.
Similarity: Involved employing supporters to office
Henry Clay supported John Quincy Adams during the 1824 election; in return, John Quincy Adams made Henry Clay Secretary of State after defeating Andrew Jackson for the presidency.
During his presidency, Andrew Jackson gave office jobs exclusively to his democratic supporters.
Difference: Not much difference, but the Corrupt Bargain happened during and after an election while the spoils system was developed during Jackson's presidency.
Answer: The statement “all men are created equal” was said in a time that, quite frankly, did not truly understand this fact at all. It was written by Thomas Jefferson, who owned slaves. When we read this now we find it obvious and powerful, but it took a very long time for it to be put into action. At the time it was written, it was made to mean all white men are created equal. Thankfully this has changed. A group that promotes what this statement should mean, is NAACP. NAACP fights for racial equality and has been since the civil rights movement. This statement, although written by the government, has actually commonly been used against the government. From the beginning of the civil rights movement, people have brought the hypocrisy of this statement to the attention of those in power. It came in handy as a strong argument that ultimately brought the success of the civil rights movement.
