The document summarizes the three stages of American occupation in Moroland (Southern Philippines) from 1899-1920: 1) Military Occupation from 1899-1903 focused on pacifying the region and establishing camps, with a policy of non-interference. 2) The Moro Province from 1903-1913 brought direct American rule, including anti-slavery and tax laws that triggered resistance from Moro leaders. 3) The Department of Mindanao and Sulu from 1914-1920 aimed to further incorporate the region and "Filipinize" administration, though the Moros still lacked full control over local governance.
