It helped to promote economic growth. If you're a farmer that needs to sell his product out of the middle of nowhere, where he lives, you need a way to get your product to market. Or if you're a mining company, you need a way to get your coal sold to other companies. Railroads in the 1800s provided the answer for many people that wanted to sell commodities, such as vegetables, fruits, and meat, as well as non-food items like barbed wire, coal, and wood.

How did Filipino rebels get involved in the Spanish-American War?
const2013 [10]

The correct answer is Option D) They supported the United States, hoping for independence.



The United States entered overseas war against the Spanish in the American-Spanish war which lasted from 1898 to 1902 and eventually turned into the American-Filipino war.



Before the arrival of the Americans, Philippines had been annexed and become a colony of Spain.


When the American-Spanish war started many Filipino rebels actually supported the American war effort in the hopes that the Spanish defeat would lead to their independence.


This however, did not happen as the Philippines eventually became an American colony.
