In Cuba… There was a violent uprising by the Cubans. They wanted their own land and own leaders. Jose Marti led the Cuban rebels in a revolt against Spain.

However… Spain sent General Valeriano Weyler aka “The Butcher” He set into place the system of “re-concentration,” in which various fortified areas were designated, and all inhabitants were given eight days to move in, including cattle and other animals. Anyone caught outside was considered the enemy and killed.

Life the camps was a death sentence…

Secretary record answers: 3. Who led the Cuban revolt against Spain? 4. What did Butcher Weyler do to the Cubans? 5. What was life like in the camps?

When the Americans heard about the death camps they felt: -Sympathetic towards the Cubans. -Leading to American support of the Cuban revolt.

Meanwhile back in the United States… Two newspapers were reporting on the Spanish and Cuban uprisings. Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst were two newspaper owners writing stories about the revolt. William Randolph Hearst Joseph Pulitzer
