Lessons
Did the actions of the United States during the American-Philippine war reflect the ideas of benevolent assimilation?
This lesson is specifically designed for students to engage in the ways that the United States handled the Philippine-American War. The lesson is seen through the lens of the idea of McKinley’s benevolent assimilation. Students will be asked to examine evidence and determine whether or not the United States actually practiced benevolent assimilation during the first years of occupation of the Philippines through a short document based question

Assessment: Opposition to the Philippine-American war
Students are presented with two documents that provide different perspectives on the war in the Philippines. Students are then asked to explain how each of these disparate accounts supports the same historical conclusion: many Americans opposed the war in the Philippines.

Soldiers in the Philippines
In 1902, Congress held hearings on the Philippine-American War in response to concerns about atrocities committed by American soldiers. In this lesson, students read a variety of primary sources including, a soldier's letter and testimonies to Congress. Students use close reading skills to explore hypotheses about why some soldiers behaved brutally during the war.
