Description

he American Imperialism Unit covers the Spanish-American War and the Philippine-American War. The lessons approach historical inquiry from different angles. One asks students to consider contrasting newspaper accounts of the explosion of the Maine. A more elaborate inquiry lesson delves into the causes of the Spanish-American War. In a third lesson, students examine pro- and anti-imperialism political cartoons from the period. Finally, students analyze some of the atrocities that took place in the Philippines.
