The defeat of the Spanish by the U.S. during the Spanish-American
War resulted in following. Cuba was freed, but under U.S. tutelage. Puerto Rico and Guam were ceded to the U. S.
and the Philippines were surrendered to the U.S. for $20 million.
The war ended Spanish rule of the Philippine Islands. Prior to the Spanish-American
War, an armed revolt by the Tagalos on the island of Luzon, was being fought with Spain. To the Philippine Nationalist's
bitter disappointment, control of the islands was transferred to the U. S. In the process, the U.S. inherited the
rebellion by the Tagalos. An armed revolt between the Tagalos and the U. S. was fought from 1899 to 1901 when it
was effectively crushed.
The following residents of Kendall County participated in what is referred
to, in U.S. military history, as the Philippine Insurrection.
