About this document

Soldiers and Insurgents in the Philippines by Portia Sumabat is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document presents three hypotheses for why some American soldiers treated Filipino insurgents with cruelty during the Philippine-American War: 1) they were following orders, 2) they thought Filipinos were less than human, or 3) they wanted revenge for how Filipinos treated them. It includes space to provide evidence from sources and quotes to evaluate which hypothesis is most convincing. The conclusion asks the reader to determine why American soldiers were brutal, using evidence from the documents.
