What were the consequences of the Spanish American War for the United States?

The exam is based primarily on these events/people/concepts. You may only use the assigned materials to form your answers. No outside sources (e.g., internet searches) are allowed. Before you turn this in, please delete this list so it doesn’t mess up your “turnitin.com” report. You may opt to do the same for all of the instruction sections as well, but that’s up to you. I’m only looking for similarities within your content – not mine.

Section 1. Identification (55 points). This section will test your knowledge of the key people/events/concepts of the course and whether you can explain the significance.
From the list of terms given above, choose FIVE (at least one from each column) and write a paragraph (at least 5 sentences) for each that discusses the who/what/when/where (typical identification) information.
Then you should be able to argue why it/they is significance to American history. (The significance could be at least one of the following: the event/person created a change or led to something else happening; and /or the event/person is an example of a larger concept or phenomenon; and/or the event/person corrects a common misperception about American history). Type your responses in the numbered area below. Use as much space as you need.
1. The “New South” :
2. Ida B. Wells :
3. Booker T. Washington :
4. W.E.B. DuBois :

5. Eugene V. Debs :
