Imperialist supported the Spanish-American War because it would result in America spreading their political and economic power.
The Spanish-American War saw Cuba fighting against Spain. In this case, the US took the side of Cuba. The goal was to get rid of Spanish influence in Cuba, as the ruler of the Spanish government had treated Cuban citizens unfairly.
Besides getting rid of the Spanish rule, this war would also help America gain access to new markets to sell their goods and new resources. Ultimately, this experience would help the US gain more power as the treaty that ended this war resulted in the US receiving territories like Guam and Puerto Rico.
In the early 1850s, tensions over slavery were high across the county. The Compromise of 1850 had failed to resolve the controversy over the admission of new slave holding states to the Union. So Fredrick Douglass thought because of this happening slavery is whats wrong with 1850s America. I hope this was helpful <3
Incomplete question. I assumed information about literal meanings and figurative meanings would make the question clear.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An important difference between literal and figurative meaning is in the way words are understood.
Literal meanings as used in literary works involve understanding words exactly how they are generally understood or denotation. For example, saying 'I need a book' would be understood literally. However, saying 'He is a shining star' would be understood for its Figurative meanings, which means 'he is admirable or successful'.
