Cause And Effects Of The Spanish-American War

The transcontinental railroad was an 1,912 mile railway system that spanned from Sacramento, California to Omaha, Nebraska. It was built to connect the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast and was constructed between 1863 to 1869. It revolutionized the settlement and economy of the west. It helped the United State's in more ways than just benefiting the west. The transcontinental railroad transformed America by allowing faster transportation, faster settlement, and an increase in trade and the economy.

Women’s suffrage in the United States began in the nineteenth century and continued into the twentieth century until the nineteenth amendment was passed in 1920 to give women the right to vote. Women’s rights activists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony protested the fifteenth amendment that was passed in 1869 because the amendment unfairly did not include women. While Anthony and Stanton protested this proposed amendment other activists such as Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe fought against the women’s suffrage movement by saying that if African-Americans got their right to vote women would gain theirs soon after. The conflict that arose from the two sides butting heads gave way to the formation of two organizations, the National Women’s Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association. The National Women’s Suffrage Association fought for women’s right to vote at a federal level, they also fought for married women to have the same rights as their husbands in regards to property. The American Woman Suffrage Association took a slightly different approach by attempting to get women the right to vote through much simpler means of the state legislature. The women involved in these movements finally got their day in Washington on January 12, 1915 as a women’s suffrage bill was brought before the House of Representatives but

War of 1812 and industrialization- The british blockade forced the united states to develop its own industries

During the mid 1840’s there was very high tension between the well established and rapidly developing United States and the more unorthodox and less equipped Mexico. The United States was confident in it's growing with help from the much inspiring Manifest Destiny and they ultimately looked to migrate more U.S territories westward. However Mexico was at more of a struggle by not really being able to take authority of the land in which they gained from Spain following their fight for independence also not being able to settle that land successfully. So in result of this the two forces would end up going to war better known as the Mexican-American war.The war lasted two years from 1846 through 1848.Various battles and attacks would occur throughout these two years but the Americans got the best of the Mexicans and would end up winning the war ultimately making the Mexican territory decrease in half its original size and their territory would now be considered apart of U.S territory. The main causes and effects of the Mexican-American War would be the annexation associated with Texas and the Manifest Destiny which both would led to the effects of U.S growing in size and slavery buzzing around longer.The word justified means a validation for a certain situation that occurs. In saying this I believe the war was justified.

The Mexican-American was very important to our country. We not only annexed Texas but, gained other states what is now modern day California, Utah, and Nevada. Mexico also obtains from the war which was debt relief. This paper explains how America and Mexico went from enemies to allies.

Women’s suffrage, or the crusade to achieve the equal right for women to vote and run for political office, was a difficult fight that took activists in the United States almost 100 years to win. On August 26, 1920 the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was ratified, declaring all women be empowered with the same rights and responsibilities of citizenship as men, and on Election Day, 1920 millions of women exercised their right to vote for the very first time.

On Election day in 1920, millions of American women voted for the very first time. On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was passed. Women suffrage caught the nation attention first in July 1848 at Seneca Falls, New York. More than 300 women gathered to commence the women’s suffrage movement. This movement was led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the convention implemented a Declaration of Sentiments which stated in what the American society degraded women and social environments

The war originated from the Cuban Independence War when Spain halted the rebellion. US sympathy rose for the rebels the battleship, USS Maine was sunk for an unexplained reason. The battleship was sent to the Havana to protect US citizens and property from the anti-Spanish rioting that was sparked by the fall of the Cuban rebels. Spain wanted to turn the Cuban government into a government with limited power, but the US Congress issued a new resolution, which demanded Spain to renounce all claim to Cuba and declare Cuba’s Independence.

After doing some research, I found my position on the issue. I believe the sinking of the Maine was an internal explosion. After years of investigation in the 1900s, they did not come up with a specific reason for the explosion. However, some Americans blamed Spain. As you may know the effect of this explosion was the Spanish-American war. Which gave Cuba independence and America gained leadership of Guam, Puerto Rico and the Philippines.

The momentum of this movement was established over the course of several decades, first in various states and localities. Although the strategy whilst protesting was often disputed, the women of the United States ultimately exercised their right to vote for the first time in history. On August 26th, 1920, the 19th Amendment, stating that all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, was ratified.

The Spanish American War took place in Spain, Cuba, and the Philippines. George Dewey gave command to open fire on the Spanish in Manila. The victory allowed the men to land in the Philippines. Over a period of two months 11,000 Americans joined forces with Filipino rebels, who were led by Emilio Aguinaldo.The Caribbean hostilities began with a Cuban blockade. 125,000 Americans volunteered to fight in the Spanish-American War. The United States and Paris signed a armistice, a cease-fire agreement on August 12. Arguments over the treaty centered on whether or not America could annex the Philippines. Spain sold the Philippines to the United States for $20 million. They wanted to educate the Filipinos and spread Christianity.

The Spanish-American War, or as it might be called “little splendid war” as it spread the US powers and acquired victory at a low cost of men and material. However, the war was not very easy for the soldiers that actually went through it. I’ll be discussing the consequences of war that surrounded the soldiers who went through the war, including the consequence of acquiring the Philippines as a territory.

Women, such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Lucretia Mott, peacefully protested first by attending the Seneca Falls Convention in New York. Events like this occurred year after year and after many years of fighting, women received the right to vote. This was the 19th amendment, which was ratified in August 1920. Women in the United States (U.S.) thought that the success of the newly ratified amendment meant that they would now have the same equal rights as men. However, this did not happen. Women still struggle every day for the same rights as men, but many still do not know about

Several generations of woman suffrage supporters engaged in "a lengthy and difficult struggle" to secure voting rights for all American women. The women's rights movement organized nationally at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848 and produced a "Declaration of Sentiments" outlining essential rights (History.com Staff). Despite their sustained efforts, most did not live to see approval of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In early efforts, several tactics were used to secure the change in national voting laws. By 1916, major suffrage groups were united to get the amendment introduced and approved in Congress and then ratified by the states. "The face of the American electorate" changed forever when ratification was certified on August 26, 1920 (United States, Congress). The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave women "equal citizenship with men" (Siegel 1045).

It was on August 19, 1920 that the 19th amendment to the United States Constitution was passed, giving all American women the right to vote. This victory was just the beginning of fighting for women’s rights. This movement led to the second wave of rebellion, because much still needed to be done.
