Common misconceptions
- Treating Spanish-American War as 'splendid little war' (John Hay) — refuses Philippine-American War 200,000+ Filipino deaths + ~4,200 US deaths
- Treating Hawaii annexation as voluntary — Queen Liliuokalani was overthrown Jan 17 1893 by US sugar planters with US Marine support; 1897 Ku'e Petitions ~21,000 Hawaiian signatures opposing annexation
- Forgetting that Puerto Rico + Guam + American Samoa + US Virgin Islands + Northern Mariana Islands are STILL US territories whose residents lack full voting rights in federal elections
