America’s Age of Imperialism. America’s Age
of Imperialism was relatively short-lived, and
somewhat anomalous in terms of overall US
history. For a few brief years in the 1890s, the US
aggressively pursued overseas colonies, holding on
to those colonies even in the face of indigenous
resistance and, unlike its handling of continental
territories, offering the new colonies no pathway
toward equal statehood and citizenship. The
Filipino Insurrection of 1899 to 1902 provides a
particularly unsettling episode in terms of how
Americans generally like to remember their past.
Having driven the Spanish out of the Philippines,
the US ignored the Filipinos’ demand for
independence, for which they had been fighting

2. against the Spanish for several years, and instead
took possession of the islands, treating the
Filipinos as colonial subjects. For several years,
Americans and Filipinos fought over the destiny of
the Philippines in a brutal conflict which cost the
lives of hundreds of thousands—perhaps even
more than a million—Filipino civilians.
Drawing from material in the textbook and the
video below, explain how American foreign policy
generally grew more interventionist and aggressive
from the 1890s into the twentieth century,
identifying key moments in that development.
Then, examine the specifics of the Filipino
Insurrection, explaining how the conflict was
perceived in the United States. Using at least three
primary sources—articles written during the
conflict—summarize the arguments which
Americans of the time made for and against the
colonization of the Philippines. Also, review one
scholarly secondary article about the insurrection.
Summarize its contents and explain how its
depiction of the insurrection compares with what
you read in the primary sources.
All outside sources for this assignment, primary
and secondary, need to come from JSTOR, a
database available through the Ashford University

into JSTOR, review the video from Week One
about the differences between primary and
secondary sources, and how to find both on
JSTOR:
