Territories annexed at the end of the spanish-american war that established the united states as an imperialist power included all of the following except

Hawaii

Explanation:

Hawaii would not be an American territory until 1900. The archipelago remained a native kingdom for most of the 19th century when the expansion of the sugar industry caused greater political intervention by the United States. In 1893, the Republic of Hawaii was established, with Sanford B. Dole as president. After annexation (1898), Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1900.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
