Sixth Identification

Commander George Dewey:

Commander George Dewey was extremely important to the time period of
1898. Dewey was primarily known for being the commander of the Pacific Ocean, taking out many Philippines, and a commander trying to prevent a war.
Dewey is important to the time period of 1898 in a couple of
ways. One such way Dewey is important to the time period is because
he took out many Philippines. This though, was not a good thing. Another way Dewey is important is because
he was a commander trying to prevent a war. The way that Dewey ties into Zinn's writings is because he wasn't that great of a commander. In the book, he said that he sank an entire squadron of people at Manila Bay. In Zinn's writings, the Americans fired 500 pound shells into the Bay, and there were so many dead body's that was their defense. How great was America then?
