In hindsight, it is clear that the United States did not have any justification whatsoever to send troops to Cuba and the Philippines. The U.S. government did not conduct a proper investigation to clarify the causes for the explosion of the U.S.S. Maine anchored at Havana, which would have ruled out a deliberate ill-intentioned by any sort of Spanish parties and determine the cause as human error by member of the crew. Instead, the incident was taken as a convenient excuse for waging war against Spain, a dying empire that took on an impossible challenge out of her national pride-

Furthermore, the conditions in Cuba did not improve for the vast majority of poor people who only changed one master for another as fair work conditions were not introduced, and the corrupt and oppressive Spanish government was replaced by a U.S. puppet government, even more oppressive, and under a dictator. In the Philippines, the U.S. expeditionary forces ended up engaging in brutal and bloody combat against local tribes which resulted in thousands of casualties on the local tribes' side.

The real reason behind this war was the expansion of the U.S. overseas aimed at exploiting the natural resources and boost up its domestic industry and international prestige as an emerging imperialist power at the expense| of the suffering and misery of the people in the countries invaded by the force of arms and a false promise of freedom and democracy.

I think the United States was justified in sending troops to Cuba and the Philippines to fight against Spain because many Cubans flew to the USA to escape from the Spanish control. That act was a manifestation that they expected help from the USA, so the USA was morally compelled to take action.

Which option most accurately summarizes the conflicting perspectives that erupted into the conflict known as “Bleeding Kansas”?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Pro slavery advocates believed slave owners had a right to transport slaves into the territories; antislavery advocates argued that this gave slave holding settlers an unfair advantage over non-slave holding settlers.

Pro slavery advocates argued that the slave status of Kansas should be determined by popular vote; antislavery advocates argued that Kansas should be free because of its location north of the 36° 30' parallel.  

Pro slavery advocates contended that free African Americans in Kansas should not be permitted rights under the state constitution; antislavery advocates argued that the federal constitution took precedence over Kansas’s state constitution.

Pro slavery advocates held that slavery in the state was legal, as established in the Missouri Compromise of 1820; antislavery advocates argued that this legislation was invalidated by the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Dred Scott case.

mafiozo [28]
The answer is B.

The Articles of Confederation was extremely weak due to its lack of federal power, it gave most of the authority to the states. This is discussed in the passage as it talks about how the federal/national government had no authority to raise money, etc. Thus, the answer is B, as the answer says the national government had a lack of authority to control the debt crisis.
