 * In the discussion above, paste in the completed paragraph that we started last Friday. It should contain at least 5 sentences that explain increasing American expansion.||How do you think the headline "DESTRUCTION OF THE WAR SHIP MAINE WAS THE WORK OF AN ENEMY" affected American readers in 1898? Respond in the discussion for this page.||What do you think was the number 1 reason why we felt it necessary to become involved in Cuba in 1898? Respond in the discussion for this page.||

Starting today, we will dig deeper into the reasons why the United States became involved in Cuba and probe the motives of our leaders for waging war against Spain in 1898. To do this we're going to use an AWESOME web assignment created by a number of historical organizations called "Historical Thinking Matters - The Spanish-American War". You will complete the online assignment by the end of the day Friday.
