number 5 essay paragraph

The impact of US territorial gains was huge because the after the war was over the US had aquired Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, China, and the Philippines. Guam was a big territorial impact on America because it was near China and it could be used as a naval base. China was also a big impact because now the US could trade overseas and they owned the entire Pacific Ocean in trade and shipping. Cuba and the Philippines were also major territorial gains because those islands had many resources including sugar and coal, which was used for the naval vessels. The sugar was taken and traded abroad and the US would bring it to the West Coast and China for money. The territorial gains by the US were fueled by Americans because they wanted to own islands abroad so they could become a more powerful country.

Spanish- American War

1. What were the consequences of the War for Spain and the United States?
There were many consequences of the Spanish-American War. All the consequences were not bad however. The US was able to buy the Philippine Islands for a mere 20 million dollars. The bad consequences included that the Spanish lost the Philippine Islands and they lost Cuba, which was full of resources like sugar cane. Also, America sent troops over to the Philippines Islands because they wanted to Americanize the Filipinos.
2. Why did the Treaty of Paris cause such debate among Americans?
The Treaty of Paris caused such debate among Americans because the American population liked to stick to the Constitutional laws. They didn't like taking over other countries because it went against the Constitution of the United States.

1. I think that the English and the Job skills programs helped the immigrants the most because they would learn how to talk in American and they would be able to get jobs, which would help them put food on their tables for their families. They could understand American too, which would enable them to enter conversations and to understand directions.
2. I think that many things qualified Addams for the Nobel Peace Prize. First, she was the president of the Women's International league for peace and freedom. Also, she was a founding member of the American Civil liberties Union. And she helped immigrants find a home in America.

1. Dahlberg told Woodward that he had given the 25,000 dollar check to Maurice Stans, who was at the time Nixon's chief money raiser. They established the money intended for the reelection campaign. Instead the money ended up in a bank account for the Watergate burglar. Stans was confonted about the issue and he siad that he had no comment. Stans and others for Nixon secretely collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from people- who were mostly Democrats who disliked George McGoven- who didn't want it publicly known that they had given money to the Nixon campaign fund. The Reelection Commitee sent the money to Mexico and then back to Washington to keep the secret safe.
2. Maurice Stans excelled at the art of collecting money. He was Nixon's chief money raiser for his campaign. Stans was given a check for 25,000 dollars for Nixon's reelection campaign, which ended up in the bank account of the Watergate buglar. He had no comment. Stans and other people that worked for Nixon had collected large amounts of money from Democratic people that had opposed George McGoven. Stans was Nixon's man when it came down to his reelection campaign because Stans was one of the best at making money.
3. John Sirica and petit jurors persuaded the Department of Justice and the prosecutors " to take out-of-court statements from Maurice Stans. Instead of requiring them to testify before the jury investigating the " bugs " and the burglary in conformity with the established procedures governing such matters. This then denied the jurors the opportunity to question them.

Trade Unions

5. If the government had supported Unions instead of management in the late nineteenth century, the lives of workers might have changed because the government would listen to what they were saying and they would provide them with the things they needed. Things such as money, shelter, and less hours on the job every day.
7. Workers formed Unions in the late nineteenth century because Unions made everyone equal and made everyone feel like they had dignity. Also, Unions protested against the unfair ways that bosses placed upon their workers. They demanded more money, less hours, and to have more power.
8. Many factors limited the success of Unions, such as that they were run by ordinary people and that their only supporters were mostly that of the poor. Also people would join them and some would not because they were afraid of losing a paying job.
