Here is yet another question that gave my students fits in the post-bellum lectures:


Did the US military learn any lessons from the Civil War that helped them in the Spanish American War?

Were they more/better prepared for major military operations in the spring of 1898 than they were in the spring of 1861? Use comparison and contrast to examine this issue in detail.
