NO war was ever entered into with higher principles of action or graver reasons for resorting to the dire conflict of arms, and no nation ever conducted a war with more unselfish motives. The war was the will of the people, the heart-beat of the nation, a sincere and honest appeal for justice, humanity and freedom. The deeds of the brave men who fought it were worthy of its great purpose. The Navy, by their victories a I Manila and Santiago, not only made history, but also prescribed to the world its future tactics. The naval lessons of the war, the two great actions ol which were so remarkable and decisive, impressed the whole civilized world with their importance and significance. The battle tactics of our Navy were studied by all the great nations, and the principles deduced have been given a place in the tactics of the future. But, the study of the war from the naval standpoint did not end there: on the one hand, above and bevond the limited domain of tactics, there were principles of strategy involved which demanded careful consideration, and received unstinted praise, from the world's naval strategists; on the other, within and below the sphere of tactics, there were the elements of organization, training and instruction, which made "the man behind the gun" what he was, that called for minute investigation by naval students, as well as the material of the fleet—'the ships, the guns, the purpose so armor and the machinery—every element of which had answered its management, was the perfectly, and all of which, in design, construction and work of naval officers. glorious victory The work of the Navy in tins war was not only complete and the leading parts, hut it was m battle, where valor and devotion to duty are heads whose brain and thought had . a higher .n.wn of glory for those developed and perfected OUT new Navy. "The world The Army, no less than the Navy, won imperishable renown. Santiago never saw Letter troops" was the unsolicited and spontaneous verdict at powers of Europe. But of an experienced soldier of one of the great military the field of battle was their simplest for them it was not all glory. Bravery on poetry of their work: privation duty, it was but the holiday of their term, the task. and suffering were their main portion, and waiting their most difficult The Spanish-American War brought about no changes in tactics, but it convinced placed the civilized world that the American soldier had fighting qualities which him in the foremost rank of trained soldiers. The President of the United States, in general orders, has characterized the work of the Army in glowing words: obstacle. Its It has submitted to no discouragement and halted at no devotion officers have shown high qualities of command, and its men have shown and discipline. Its splendid virile energy has been accompanied by self-control, patience, and magnanimity. With admirable good temper, sympathy, and loyalty to American ideals, its commanding generals have joined with the civilian agents of tin- Government in healing the wounds of war. 'The President feels that he expresses the sentiments of all the loyal people the of the United States in doing honor to the whole Army which has joined in performance and shares in the credit of these honorable services." The small regular army which existed at the outbreak of the war furnished the nucleus about which the war army was constructed. Its training and discipline was the model for the army, and its spirit pervaded the whole. The volunteers, from all sections of the country, and from all ranks of society. brought into the field the patriotism of our people. The Sccretarv of War has paid his tribute to volunteers and regulars in terms that should not be forgotten: 'All honor to the volunteers who have been and who must always be the main support of our country in war. All honor to the genius, the courage, the self-sacrifice of the men, many of whom I see before me now, who have won immortal renown as generals of the volunteer army. They will be the first to of aye when I declare that the formative power, the high standard conduct, the informing spirit of every American army is to be found in the Regular Army of the United States. 6 "All honor to the officers of the American Army who in true republican fashion have worked their way up from the ranks. All honor to the officers who, turning aside from the allurements of wealth and honor in civil life, have been appointed as civilians to the army, as volunteers, accepting the slender income and the hard life that is known to accompany the duties of a soldier. " Be of good cheer, American soldiers. When the record comes to be made up, in the cool judgment of the American people and of mankind, after Cuba, with its brilliant page, after China, with its glorious achievements, will be written another page equally brilliant, equally glorious, on which will be recorded the achievements in war and in peace of the American Army in the Philippines." Not the least of the results of the war attributable to the army is the re-estab- lishment of confidence between the South and the North. The two sections vied with each other in their patriotic devotion, and years of estrangement were obliterated in a few months of service side by side, in the camps of instruction, on the march, or in the trenches on the battle-field. The Navy and the Army, in the Spanish-American War, have been true In their traditions, and have added another series of victories to the long list in the short existence of the nation. They have won the confidence of our people, and how well they have deserved this let the records speak. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy.

Doctor of Philosophy (History), August 2017, 294 pp., 8 tables, bibliography, 120 titles. During the Philippine War, 1899 – 1902, America attempted to quell an uprising from the Filipino people. Four regular army regiments of black soldiers, the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, and the Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth Infantry served in this conflict. Alongside the regular army regiments, two volunteer regiments of black soldiers, the Forty-Eighth and Forty-Ninth, also served. During and after the war these regiments received little attention from the press, public, or even historians. These black regiments served in a variety of duties in the Philippines, primarily these regiments served on the islands of Luzon and Samar. The main role of these regiments focused on garrisoning sections of the Philippines and helping to end the insurrection. To carry out this mission, the regiments undertook a variety of duties including scouting, fighting insurgents and ladrones (bandits), creating local civil governments, and improving infrastructure.

Service Honest and Faithful: The Thirty-Third Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Philippine War, 1899-1901. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2017, 269 pp., bibliography, 72 primary resources, 97 secondary resources. This manuscript is a study of the Thirty-Third Infantry, United States Volunteers, a regiment that was recruited in Texas, the South, and the Midwest and was trained by officers experienced from the Indian Wars and the Spanish-American War. This regiment served as a front-line infantry unit and then as a constabulary force during the Philippine War from 1899 until 1901. While famous in the United States as a highly effective infantry regiment during the Philippine War, the unit's fame and the lessons that it offered American war planners faded in time and were overlooked in favor of conventional fighting. In addition, the experiences of the men of the regiment belie the argument that the Philippine War was a brutal and racist imperial conflict akin to later interventions such as the Vietnam War.

  • The Spanish-American War (1898) I
    Chapter 5 THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR (1898) I. Filming for a visual newspaper INTRODUCTION In 1898 the United States fought what was soon to be dubbed ‘the splendid little war’. 1 The war was conducted in two far separate parts of the world: the Caribbean and the western Pacific. When it was all over – and it only lasted a few months – Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines were no longer under Spanish control, and America, almost by accident it seemed, had taken on a new role as an imperial power. The Spanish-American War was the first major conflict to appear in moving pictures, and merits detailed consideration. In this chapter I will look at how the cameramen tried to film the events on the ground; then in the two chapters which follow I will look at how the war was dramatised, and then exhibited to the public. As we shall see in all these chapters, the war was a very important event for cinema in general, for it had the unexpected effect of giving the new industry a boost: cameramen learned to shoot location stories more effectively; various kinds of dramatizations, even the first ever model-based films, were produced; and exhibitors learned to programme films together in more sophisticated ways. Altogether the cinema medium evolved and developed in quite different ways than if had there been no war. The role of the ‘yellow press’ in helping to foment the Spanish-American War has long been accepted, and it seems that these powerful press organisations also influenced the filmic coverage of the war.

Rhodes A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Joseph T. Glatthaar Wayne E. Lee Louis A. Pérez Jr. W. Fitzhugh Brundage Alex Roland © 2016 John R. Rhodes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT John R. Rhodes: Agents of Empire: The Frontier U.S. Army and the Transition from the War with Spain to the Occupation of Cuba (Under the direction of Joseph T. Glatthaar) This dissertation examines how the U.S. Army conducted a successful initial occupation of Santiago, Cuba, after the Spanish surrender of eastern Cuba to General William R. Shafter’s Fifth Corps on July 17, 1898. U.S. Army officers replicated and adapted lessons learned from their frontier and Reconstruction experiences to evacuate Spanish prisoners, relieve humanitarian crises, discover the causes of tropical fevers, control the Cuban population, establish a logistical infrastructure, and create a military government. Their actions during the occupation of Santiago became the model for how the U.S. Army conducted the remainder of its occupation of Cuba. Based on both published government records, newspapers, and memoirs; and unpublished personal papers, letters, diaries, and official correspondence collected from three archives, this study shows how the U.S. Army used a blend of coercion and conciliation during the occupation to disband the Cuban Liberation Army and delegitimize the Cuban revolutionary government.

  • Who Were the Buffalo Soldiers? the 9Th Cavalry Regiment
    BUFFALO SOLDIERS 9TH & 10TH CALVARY REGIMENTS Page 1 of 6 Who Were the Buffalo Soldiers? Buffalo soldiers were African American soldiers who mainly served on the Western frontier following the American Civil War. In 1866, six all-Black cavalry and infantry regiments were created after Congress passed the Army Organization Act. Their main tasks were to help control the Native Americans of the Plains, capture cattle rustlers and thieves and protect settlers, stagecoaches, wagon trains and railroad crews along the Western front. No one knows for certain why, but the soldiers of the all-Black 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments were dubbed “buffalo soldiers” by the Native Americans they encountered. One theory claims the nickname arose because the soldiers’ dark, curly hair resembled the fur of a buffalo. Another assumption is the soldiers fought so valiantly and fiercely that the Indians revered them as they did the mighty buffalo. Whatever the reason, the name stuck, and African American regiments formed in 1866, including the 24th and 25th Infantry (which were consolidated from four regiments) became known as buffalo soldiers. The 9th Cavalry Regiment The mustering of the 9th Cavalry took place in New Orleans, Louisiana, in August and September of 1866. The soldiers spent the TAKEN FROM: https://www.history.com/topics/westward-expansion/buffalo-soldiers COLEMAN A.
