From the Americans (your textbook):

In 1900 the newly formed Cuban government wrote a constitution.  The constitution did not specify the relationship between the US and Cuba.  In 1901 the US insisted that Cuba add these provisions to their constitution:

1. Cuba could not make treaties that limit its independence or permit a foreign power to control any part of their territory
2. The US reserved the right to intervene in Cuba
3. Cuba was not to go into debt that its government could not pay
4. The US could buy or lease land in Cuba to establish naval stations

The Panama Canal is a man made water route that connects the Atlantic with the Pacific Ocean.  In 1904 the United States took over the construction project from France.

Between 13,000 and 14,000 ships use the panama canal every year.  American ships use the canal the most, followed by those from China, Chile, Japan, Colombia and South Korea. Every vessel that transits the canal must pay a toll based on its size and cargo volume. Tolls for the largest ships can run about $450,000. The smallest toll ever paid was 36 cents, plunked down in 1928 by American adventurer Richard Halliburton, who swam the canal. Today, some $1.8 billion in tolls are collected annually.

President McKinley on what we should do with the Philippines now that Spain has been defeated:

"That we could not give them back to Spain - that would be cowardly and dishonorable. That we could not turn them over to France or Germany - that would be bad business and discreditable.  We could not leave them to themselves - they are unfit for self government and they would soon have misrule over there worse than Spain's was. There was nothing left for us to do but to take them all, and educate the Filipinos, and uplift and civilize and Christianize them...."

Joint Resolution from Congress authorizing the use of the US Military against Spain to effect Cuban Independence:

Whereas the abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States.....that the people of the Island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be, free and independent
