How did puerto rico pose a problem for the united states after the spanish-american war

The United States acquired Puerto Rico from Spain during the Spanish American war. Now that they have the island, Washington had the problem of governing it. Washington sent generals to first govern the country. However, some of these military guys were accustomed to brutal administration and pacification of Native Americans. Many occupying American soldiers were also bad guys, mistreating local residents and causing fights. The ruling government was undemocratic, causing civil disorder in the island.

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
