The most famous of all the units fighting in Cuba, the "Rough Riders" was the name given to the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt resigned his position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in May 1898 to join the volunteer cavalry. The original plan for this unit called for filling it with men from the Indian Territory, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma. However, once Roosevelt joined the group, it quickly became the place for a mix of troops ranging from Ivy League athletes to glee-club singers to Texas Rangers and Indians.

Roosevelt and the commander of the unit Colonel Leonard Wood trained and supplied the men so well at their camp in San Antonio, Texas, that the Rough Riders was allowed into the action, unlike many other volunteer companies. They went to Tampa at the end of May and sailed for Santiago de Cuba on June 13. There they joined the Fifth Corps, another highly trained, well supplied, and enthusiastic group consisting of excellent soldiers from the regular army and volunteers.

The Rough Riders saw battle at Las Guásimas when General Samuel B. M. Young was ordered to attack at this village, three miles north of Siboney on the way to Santiago. Although it was not important to the outcome of the war, news of the action quickly made the papers. They also made headlines for their role in the Battle of San Juan Hill, which became the stuff of legend thanks to Roosevelt's writing ability and reenactments filmed long after.

How were state governments different from colonies
natali 33 [55]
A state has self-government, or is part of a larger self-governing whole (like a Federal government). 
A colony is ruled by an outside power, and does not have the power to make its own laws.

How did trade encourage the development of the renaissance??
solong [7]
Cultural renaissance began in northern Italy, concentrated in Florence, Giotto, who gradually broke through the rigid art of the Middle Ages, making the works more vivid three-dimensional works. It then spread to the south, the impact of Rome is particularly large, and Rome is largely by the Renaissance Pope reconstruction. The Italian Renaissance reached its heyday in the late 15th century, when foreign invasions plunged the entire region into chaos. However, the idea of the Renaissance with the ideal spread to other parts of Europe, opened the Northern Renaissance and the Renaissance of England and so on.
