read the excerpt below, & answer the two questions that follow:
Platform of the American Anti-Imperialist League, The Commons, 1899
“We hold that the policy known as imperialism is hostile to liberty and tends toward militarism, an evil from which it has been our glory to be free. We regret that it has become necessary in the land of Washington and Lincoln to reaffirm that all men, of whatever race or color, are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We maintain that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. We insist that the subjugation of any people is "criminal aggression" and open disloyalty to the distinctive principles of our Government.
We earnestly condemn the policy of the present National Administration in the Philippines. It seeks to extinguish the spirit of 1776 in those islands. We deplore the sacrifice of our soldiers and sailors, whose bravery deserves admiration even in an unjust war. We denounce the slaughter of the Filipinos as a needless horror. We protest against the extension of American sovereignty by Spanish methods.
We demand the immediate cessation of the war against liberty, begun by Spain and continued by us. We urge that Congress be promptly convened to announce to the Filipinos our purpose to concede to them the independence for which they have so long fought and which of right is theirs.”
1. Identify the rationale the Anti-Imperialist League provides for the U.S. to leave these smaller islands.
2. How was this similar to British control over the American colonies prior to the American Revolution?

As Americans moved westward, the federal government removed American Indians from their land and gave land grants to railroad companies as well as granted land to individuals who agreed to farm the land.

2. The federal government also increased its involvement in labor disputes between employers and employees. (notes from 2/1/21 will help).

answer the following questions with a two-paragraph response:
some churches advocated for enslaved people to accept slavery as “God’s will,” others used the Bible to justify their calls for liberation. If you were a Pastor in a black Church in the mid-1800s, how would you use the Bible & teachings of Jesus to make a case for the end of slavery? How would you connect the bible & Jesus to the movement today for racial justice?

I now wished for the last friend, Death, to relieve me; but soon, to my grief, two of the white men offered me eatables; and, on my refusing to eat, one of them held me fast by the hands, and laid me across, I think, the windlass, and tied my feet, while the other flogged me severely. I had never experienced any thing of this kind before; and although not being used to the water, I naturally feared that element the first time I saw it; yet, nevertheless, could I have got over the nettings, I would have jumped over the side; but I could not; and, besides, the crew used to watch us very closely who were not chained down to the decks, lest we should leap into the water; and I have seen some of these poor African prisoners most severely cut for attempting to do so, and hourly whipped for not eating. This indeed was often the case with myself. In a little time after, amongst the poor chained men, I found some of my own nation, which in a small degree gave ease to my mind. I inquired of them what was to be done with us? they gave me to understand we were to be carried to these white people’s country to work for them.”

AP Analyzing sources: Philip IV, Letter to Don Luis de Valdes (1647)
Philip IV (1605-1665) ruled the Spanish empire at a time when Spain claimed much of modern North, Central, and South America. However, Spanish magistrates faced conflicts with the tribes of northern Mexico. In this letter to Governor Luis Valdes, Philip sought to stabilize the region.
“To my governor and captain-general of the province of Nueva Vizcaya: It has been learned in my royal Council of the Indies that that province adjoins the barbarous nations...who are now at war, though they are usually at peace; that while they were so at peace, there went among them to trade certain alcaldes mayors[magistrates] and religious instructors who carried off and sold their children to serve in the mines and elsewhere, disposing of them as slaves or giving them as presents, which amounts to the same thing. As a result they became disquieted, and the governor, Don Luis de Valdes, began to punish them immoderately and without regard for the public faith, for, after calling them to attend religious instruction, he seized and shot some of them. Thereupon they revolted, took up their arms and arrows, and made some raids; they broke into my treasury, and it has cost me over 50,000 pesos to pacify them, although they are not entirely quieted yet. It is very fitting to my service and to their peace to command strictly that the barbarous Indians shall not be made slaves nor sent as presents to anyone, nor made to serve anywhere against their will when they are at peace and are not taken in open war.”
Answer the following questions after the reading the quoted primary source above; you will EACH put all of the names in your group on your own document & turn it in:
Identify: 1) What is the cause of the king’s dissatisfaction with Governor Don Luis de Valdes? What is the king’s proposed solution?
Analyze: 2) What does Philip hope will result from this letter?
Evaluate: 3) How would Spanish settlers react to the king’s demand?
