The war between the Philippines and the Americans started in 1899 and lasted for three years. The war began after America overpowered and defeated Spain in their war which occurred in 1898. The U.S was interested in this nation because it was one of the overseas empires and wanted to make the Filipinos free. After America took over Philippine, political leaders wanted the nation to serve under the U.S (Kohler and Wensye 89). The government, on the other hand, wanted to explore the nation and use its raw materials. The public wanted the Filipinos to be allowed their freedom since they had just been under the Spanish rule.
During the war, the Philippine insurgents would mix with the ordinary Filipinos a factor that made the American troops hard to identify them. This special guerilla tactic made the insurgents attack the Americans from the borders without them knowing. On the other hand, the Americans were driven by the desire to acquire commercial opportunities and advantages in Asia (Kohler and Wensye 89). According to them, Philippine was unable to rule itself. The U.S had trained and therefore skilled troops. When the Filipinos employed guerrilla tactics, the Americans took over the waterways and this enabled them to control all movements on the Island. This tactic prevented the Filipinos from getting any outside help.
The basic principles and dogmas of W.E.B. Du Bois revolved around racism. He strongly condemned racial discrimination and called for equality.

He insisted that positive morality was key to social change. On the other hand, Booker T believed that self-help as well as racial solidarity (Cashman 113). Unlike Du Bois, he told blacks not to fight discrimination at that time since it was impossible to win that fight. He believed that once the blacks unite they will finally win. The basic goals of the Nagara Movement were to implement a radical strategy to ensure racial equality is achieved. They fought for political, social as well as civil rights for the black people.
The great migration refers to the movement of millions of people particularly African Americans from the Southern part of America to the Northern, west as well as Midwest part of the nation from 1916 to 1970 (Cashman 114). This movement was beneficial since these people moved from a very rural area which was characterized by poverty in a more urbanized area where social life was better. The legacy of the Great Migration for the northern cities revolves around the fact that African Americans began building their public lives in the region. As well, it is in this region that they began confronting discrimination and establish an urban culture which is seen today.
The key goal of Susan B. Anthony Amendment to the Constitution was to ensure educational, racial as well as gender equality. She was a crucial member of the women’s suffrage movement who strongly fought for women to be allowed the right to participate in the electoral process and specifically voting (Lavender and Lavender 33). The Women’s Suffrage Amendment faced a lot of opposition especially from conservative movement a factor that made it took about 40 years before it was passed. This movement wanted to maintain the status quo where women were viewed as inferiors in the society and therefore were not allowed to enjoy all the privileges.
Reportedly, Alice Paul was a co-founder of the Congressional Union which pushed for gender equality. She participated in picketing around the White House so that women would be given equal rights as men. She joined hands with other suffragists in picketing President Wilson jailed them (Lavender and Lavender 34). Due to this, the president began seeing how serious the issue of gender equality was a factor that made him consider it. Constant picketing by Alice and other women made the president decide to allow women equal rights as men.
