Answer:
<em>d. A dead Indian.</em>
Explanation:
When the Plymouth colony ship crew and passengers docked at the shore, a small party was sent to explore the area inland. When the exploratory party went inland, they first encountered an old European-built house with an iron kettle, which was probably left behind by some ship's crew. They also came across recently cultivated fields, some of these fields still had corn stubble. Next, the team came across an artificial mound near the dunes. When they partially uncovered the mound, they found it to be an Indian grave, with a dead Indian. As they traveled further inland, other similar mounds were found, which were more recently, and these ones were graves with corns in them. The team then took some of the corn, which they later used as seed for planting, and covered the mound back with its remaining content.
In the 1890s, Cuba wanted to get their freedom from Spain. People like Jose Marti petitioned Americans to side with the Cubans and the poor treatment they were receiving from Spain. Also, there was a lot of support in the newspapers called "yellow journalism" where American people were sympathizing with the cause to go against Spain in war. This especially was true with a man nicknamed "The Butcher", Valeriano Weyler, who was a military leader from Spain placed in Cuba to put people in concentration camps.
As a result, America felt a strong sense of patriotism and business reasons to go to war with Spain. After the <em>USS Maine</em> exploded, the United States declared war on Spain.
A similar situation happened in the Philippines, where Spain had a high influence and America did want to free the Philippines from Spain, but then also had their own agenda to take over the Philippines, as it was in a strategic location in the Pacific for trade.
