Topics
议员本杰明·蒂尔曼认为,美国在菲律宾的干涉是仁慈的保护,而非暴政,菲律宾人民的独立斗争与美国独立战争的精神相同,但他也质疑美国是否应该承担高昂的代价去实现这一目标,并认为菲律宾人民不适合美国的制度,也不想要美国的自由。他认为美国在菲律宾的目的是为了获得港口和商业利益,如果菲律宾人民继续反抗,责任在于他们自己。 议员乔治·弗里斯比·霍尔反对美国对菲律宾的帝国主义扩张,认为美国无权强迫菲律宾人民接受美国的统治和价值观。 议员阿尔伯特·J·贝弗里奇则认为,《独立宣言》只适用于能够自治的人民,菲律宾人民不具备自治能力,因此美国对菲律宾的统治是合理的。 格雷格·杰克逊对美菲战争进行了全面的叙述,涵盖了战争的起因、经过、结果以及战争中发生的各种事件,包括美国总统麦克金莱的“仁慈同化”政策、美军与菲律宾革命军之间的冲突、安东尼奥·卢纳将军的遇刺、美军的暴行(例如“水疗法”)以及巴兰吉加战役等。他还分析了战争中双方的观点和动机,以及战争对美国和菲律宾的影响。

“Co … wards! Assassins!”

This is the story of the Philippine-American War.

Having bested the Spanish in war, the United States now lays claim to holding sovereignty over the Philippines. President William McKinley asserts that the US is enacting “benevolent assimilation” on the islands. William Taft says the US is going to help its “little brown brothers.” But nationalist Emilio Aguinaldo rejects these claims. He says the Philippines should be independent; that US rule is no better than Spanish rule. War follows.

Murder among the nationalists … the birth of the “water cure” … the rise of new figures who will dominate US politics for years to come … welcome to the Philippine-American War.
