What aspect of the 1898 spanish-American treaty angered Americans?

One aspect of the 1898 Treaty of Paris that angered many Americans was the decision to annex the Philippines. While some saw it as a way to expand American influence and fulfill a sense of manifest destiny, others believed it contradicted the principles of self-determination and democracy. Critics argued that it was hypocritical for the U.S. to deny the Philippines independence after fighting against Spanish colonial rule. This division created significant debate and resistance within the country regarding Imperialism.
