<span>US gained territory in the Pacific Ocean.
The Spanish-American War is the beginning of the imperial era in US history gaining their first territories from the war.
The US gained Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from the Spanish-American War and soon after completed the annexation of Hawaii. With colonies in the Pacific and trade connections growing in Asia, the US needed a quick way to move resources and ships from the East coast to these new areas. The canal through Panama made the naval commute shorter and faster as well as safer.</span><span />
<span>Selective Service is also known as "The Draft". That is where the US can seize you and force you to join the armed forces. It prepared the US by allowing them to have a large reserve of forces. Hope this helps!</span>
Through Adam's sin, man became susceptible of disease and death as a punishment for his sin. He passed this condition to his children, which is the entire humankind, and now we all pay for our sins through death. We become sinners even before we were born, and of course before we could choose to sin or not, and therefore we pay for them with our immortality.
