Answer:

Between 1895 and 1898 Cuba and the Philippine Islands revolted against Spain. The Cubans gained independence, but the Filipinos did not. In both instances the intervention of the United States was the culminating event.

In 1895 the Cuban patriot and revolutionary, José Martí, resumed the Cuban struggle for freedom that had failed during the Ten Years' War (1868-1878). Cuban juntas provided leadership and funds for the military operations conducted in Cuba. Spain possessed superior numbers of troops, forcing the Cuban generals Máximo Gómez and Antonio Maceo, to wage guerrilla warfare in the hope of exhausting the enemy. Operations began in southeastern Cuba but soon spread westward. The Spanish Conservative Party, led by Antonio Cánovas y Castillo, vowed to suppress the insurrectos, but failed to do so.

The Cuban cause gained increasing support in the United States, leading President Grover Cleveland to press for a settlement, but instead Spain sent General Valeriano Weyler to pacify Cuba. His stern methods, including reconcentration of the civilian population to deny the guerrillas support in the countryside, strengthened U.S. sympathy for the Cubans. President William McKinley then increased pressure on Spain to end the affair, dispatching a new minister to Spain for this purpose. At this juncture an anarchist assassinated Cánovas, and his successor, the leader of the Liberal Party Práxedes Mateo Sagasta, decided to make a grant of autonomy to Cuba and Puerto Rico. The Cuban leadership resisted this measure, convinced that continued armed resistance would lead to independence.

Europeans formed the mass of immigration to the United States. This immigration began with the colonization of the country, still in the seventeenth century and lasted until the mid-1970s.

England was experiencing a troubled moment. The official religion was the Anglican, and consequently followers of several other Protestant denominations were persecuted. The enclosure of the camps also helped thousands of people to leave rural areas and head for the cities, which became saturated. The way out of this economic and religious crisis was to immigrate to North America. The first English colony successfully established in North America was Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. Pilgrims and Puritans settled in Massachusetts in the following years. From then on, thousands of Protestants moved there, giving rise to the region known as New England, the embryo for the formation of the Thirteen Colonies, and hence the United States.

<h3>What is the importance of being earnest?</h3>

It also indicates that women had no say in how their marriages were decided.

Thus, the feature of comedy of manner present in the passage is an illustration of class differences and a commentary on marriage.

Do you support the Three-Fifths Compromise? Explain why! PLEAZE HELP!

No, because the 3/5 comprimise says that slaves (for representation and tax purposes) were only 3/5 of a person. Today of course we know that blacks are a full person. However, at the time, it was useful and a good comprimise when the issue of slaves was split like it was in the country.
