History

The Spanish-American War was important to the U.S. for a number of reasons. Following their victory the United States was recognized as a leading world power because they had defeated Spain, one of the most powerful nations in the world for centuries. The war was fought for two primary reasons. First was to defend the Cubans who were being oppressed by the Spanish and the second was to expand United States territories.  The U.S. was successful in achieving both of these goals.

After the war, America annexed, meaning they took and added on, some colonies that Spain had ruled previously such as Puerto Rico, Guam and The Philippians.  Americans were divided on imperialism, however, President McKinley was a proponent of imperialism and used the spread of religion to increase support among the Americans.

Another important outcome of the Spanish American War was the reunification of the American North and South against a common enemy, Spain.  Although the war was fought in Cuba, Americans united to battle the Spanish.  This was especially important because the U.S. was still very wounded and divided following the Civil War.

The Spanish American War was comparatively short- about 4 months and fewer soldiers were lost in battle than other wars throughout history.  However this war was important in increasing America's reputation as an international power, annexing to territories and unifying the North and South against their common enemy.

Tema [17]

Answer:

Daniel Webster, John Calhoun, Henry Clay are the group includes leaders that worked for compromise on issues

Explanation:

Monroe compromise was signed by James Monroe which was a bill that aimed to equalize the slave state and Free states.  

Missouri was admitted into Union as a slave state in north whereas Maine was deliberated to be the Free State. It created a huge incongruity of opinion between the congress men who supported and opposed slavery. The settlement which was signed by Monroe safeguarded good feelings and it paved way for Monroe to stand for the second term as the president.  

But this compromise proved to be a fallacy as there was the descent of cold war which stared.
