Soldiers in the Philippines

In 1902, Congress held hearings on the Philippine-American War in response to concerns about atrocities committed by American soldiers. In this lesson, students read a variety of primary sources including, a soldier's letter and testimonies to Congress. Students use close reading skills to explore hypotheses about why some soldiers behaved brutally during the war.
