Answer 1

The answer is C, "they disagreed over the acquisition of the Philippines."

Step-by-step explanation:

Another concern was that it would increase immigration and threaten the jobs of American workers. I hope this helps!

'The Mark of the Flag' is a speech delivered by Albert J. Beveridge. Beveridge was an imperialist and a senator of Indiana Polis. On 16th September, 1898, he delivered 'The Mark of the Flag' speech after a truce was signed before the end of Spain war. Beveridge dreamed of an imperialist America which was accepted by many other Americans also.
