On this day Mr. Bruns chimed in on a few basic things involving grades, like blogs, projects, and plagerism. Then we moved into taking notes for Chapter 10, mainly over The Spanish American War. Here are the notes I took for the day:We actually started with a recap of the first part of the notes we took on Monday. After that, new stuff. We looked at some maps and viewed different areas of the world, including Latin America, Middle-East, China/Asia, and Europe. The U.S. looked to imperialism for money, natural resources, and military bases, as well as cultural superiority. Taft thought that the foreigners were uncivillized and was sort of racist in today's terms to them. Buying Alaska was a gutsy move in the eyes of some. Hawaii was first inhabited by Polynesians and possibly Spanish, British, and others. We took over mainly for sugarcane and military installments ie Pearl Harbor. Queen Liliuokalani was the last queen of Hawaii. Tried to make Hawaii for Hawaiians.Bell rang.
