Theodore Roosevelt and the United States Battleship Maine
Theodore Roosevelt and the United States Battleship Maine Kenneth C. Wenzer The USB Maine exploded in Havana Harbor on February 15, 1898.1 Interest in this ship has endured for over 100 years and has, at times, provoked controversy. Apparently, some people still believe that a mine, surreptitiously planted by Spanish authorities, Cuban rebels, or other saboteurs, caused the initial detonation.2 A literary cottage industry of publications advocating different theories have muddied the waters, most notably Remembering the Maine published in 1995 and an article by National Geographic three years later.3 Under the auspices of Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, a team of seasoned researchers in the mid-1970s Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore proved in How the Battleship Maine Roosevelt, 1897–1898 Kenneth C. Wenzer is a historian who is affiliated with the Naval History and Heritage Command (Spanish-American War and World War I Documentary History Projects), Washington Navy Yard, Washington, DC. The opinions and conclusions expressed in this article are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of the Navy or any other agency of the U.S. government. 1 The Maine was an armored cruiser and a second-class battleship. A gun from the Maine (now undergoing restoration) at the Washington Navy Yard has an inscribed plaque on the turret: “6 INCH- 30 CALIBER GUN FROM U.S. BATTLESHIP “MAINE” SUNK IN HAVANA HARBOR FEBRUARY 15, 1898.” Additionally, the “U.S.S.” prefix designation did not become official until 1907 by order of President Theodore Roosevelt. -

Race and Ethnicity in the Era of the Philippine-American War, 1898-1914
Allegiance and Identity: Race and Ethnicity in the Era of the Philippine-American War, 1898-1914 by M. Carmella Cadusale Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2016 Allegiance and Identity: Race and Ethnicity in the Era of the Philippine-American War, 1898-1914 M.

Diane Barnes, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. David Simonelli, Committee Member Date Dr. Helene Sinnreich, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT Filipino culture was founded through the amalgamation of many ethnic and cultural influences, such as centuries of Spanish colonization and the immigration of surrounding Asiatic groups as well as the long nineteenth century’s Race of Nations. However, the events of 1898 to 1914 brought a sense of national unity throughout the seven thousand islands that made the Philippine archipelago. The Philippine-American War followed by United States occupation, with the massive domestic support on the ideals of Manifest Destiny, introduced the notion of distinct racial ethnicities and cemented the birth of one national Philippine identity. The exploration on the Philippine American War and United States occupation resulted in distinguishing the three different analyses of identity each influenced by events from 1898 to 1914: 1) The identity of Filipinos through the eyes of U.S., an orientalist study of the “us” versus “them” heavily influenced by U.S. -
The Thirteenth Minnesota and the Mock Battle of Manila by Kyle Ward on the Evening of February 15, 1898, There Was an Explosion Within the U.S.S

Maine, which was stationed in Havana Harbor outside the Cuban capital city. Had it happened anywhere else in the world, this event proba- bly would not have had such huge implications, but be- cause it happened when and where it did, it had a major impact on the course of American history. And although it happened 2,000 miles from Minnesota, it had a huge impact on Minnesotans as well. The sinking of the USS Maine, which killed 266 crew members, was like the last piece of a vast, complex puzzle that, once pressed into place, completed the pic- ture and caused the United States and the nation of Spain to declare war against one another. Their diplomatic hos- tilities had been going on for a number of years, primarily due to Cuban insurgents trying to break away from their long-time colonial Spanish masters.

Liberty Coin Service Collecting Kennedy Half Dollars
Liberty Coin Service Collecting Kennedy Half Dollars by Thomas Coulson November 22, 1963 is one of the handful of days in United States History that will always be remembered clearly by those who lived it. The assas- sination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas was devastating to the United States populace. Before his funeral was over, there was already discussion of a lasting tribute for such a beloved president. In only thir- ty eight days, the Kennedy Half Dollar was designed and approved into law. Production began in January, 1964 and coins reached commerce in late March, 1964. It was a remarkably fast time for a coin to go from concept to circulation. 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar Because of President Kennedy’s tragic death and great popularity, the coins were aggressively hoarded by the public. Some wanted a memento of the slain president. Others saw opportunity in future demand for the coin. Many went to Europe, par- ticularly Germany, where Kennedy’s visit a year earlier made him very popular. Further exacerbating the supply of new halves was the rising price of silver, which drew virtually all 90% silver coins out of circula- tion quickly. Few Kennedy Halves made it into circulation for long. When one was seen in circulation, it was considered an oddity to be saved; so even more were withdrawn in this manner. As few kennedy half dollars were seen, the denomination faded from public consiousness and mintages gradually declined from year to year. By 2001, there was ostensibly no demand for Half Dollars in commerce. -
