Last two days of class 5/28 and 5/29

Yesterday in class we went to the computer lab and did a worksheet on the revolutions and problems in Haiti and the Spanish-American War. We figured out some of the problems the Haitians faced during the war and how most of them were forced to flee the country. Today in class we talked about the United States and whether they were a "friendly neighbor" or a imperial power based on the amendments and acts passed during the time period. A lot of the time we classified the U.S as an imperial power because most of the situations we were mostly aiming to gain power and a lot of that came with "protecting" other smaller countries.
