He basically threw out the text book and instead taught us from a collection of packets. It was a very difficult class, by the end of the year, he suggested me for AP in the 9th grade. Anyway, I remember this little nugget of history that I have never heard about since. After the spanish American War, we acquired the Phillipines from Spain. Needless to say, the natives didn't want us there, so we fought a 3 year war there. However, the actual conflict lasted 14 years (1899 to 1913) and would be our longest conflict. It was fought very similar to vietnam. <br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine-American_Warjrchaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858326373606903797noreply@blogger.com
