Spanish-American War

1. The consequences of the war for Spain and the United States were that Spain gave the U.S. Cuba,Guam, and the for $20 million the Philippines.
2. The Treaty of Paris caused such debate among Americans because the American people were unsure if it was our right too annex the Philippines because of the Declaration of Independence's law of self-government of newly acquired territories. Also, that our problems with racism and competition for jobs made the new citizens an unwelcome bunch.
