widespread unrest on both foreign and domestic fronts. This topic was recognized highly controversial by both the American and Filipino people, as well as the rest of the world, and a foolish move on America 's part. The debates following the annexation made clear distinctions on the reasons why the Philippines was annexed in the first place versus the reasons our actions contradict our motives.

In these settlements, Filipinos started farming and fishing as a way to retain their Filipino identity in the new land. Filipino community came together easily as they experienced the same cruelty from the Spaniard voyagers. Officially, Filipinos…
