Examining the Causes of the Spanish-American War
Document 1 – A Speech by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge 1. List three specific reasons Lodge provides to justify American involvement in Cuba. a. Citizens of Cuba are fighting a revolution against oppression, just like Americans did during the American Revolution. b. Cubans believe in civil liberties such as freedom of religion, speech, and press, just like Americans do. c. A free Cuba offers a great market for American businesses. d. A free Cuba will protect American interests in the Caribbean. / 2. How does Lodge attempt to persuade people to adopt his argument? Lodge makes analogies between the events in Cuba and the American Revolution He describes the situation with vivid terms like oppression, sympathy, principles, and opportunity. / 3. What specific phrases or terms used in the speech do you feel were the most persuasive?
11
Examining the Causes of the Spanish-American War
Document 2 – Headlines from the New York World 1. List four specific reasons the headlines provide to justify American involvement in Cuba. a. There is a Crisis in Cuba. b. Americans are in danger c. The crisis is a result of “Spanish Treachery” d. The Maine was destroyed by “outsiders” e. President McKinley suspects a “Spanish plot” / 2. How do the editors of the New York World attempt to persuade their readers to adopt their argument? The newspaper attempts to directly connect the explosion on the Maine with actions taken by the Spanish. They quote support from the British, provide a picture of the explosion, and supply direct quotations from sailors on the ship. 3. What specific phrases or terms used in the speech do you feel were the most persuasive?
12
Examining the Causes of the Spanish-American War
Document 3 – Letter from Spanish Deputy Enrique de Lome to a Friend in Cuba 1. List the one reason that the letter might influence people to want war with Spain. The letter questions the leadership abilities of the U.S. president and paints a derogatory picture of the president. 2. What specific phrases or terms used in the speech do you feel were the most persuasive?
13
As a team, use the documents and share events that influenced the
American decision to go to war. 1. The rebellion of the Cubans against Spanish rule (document 1) 2. The treatment of the Cubans by Spanish in general and General Weyler in particular (document 2) 3. The de Lome letter’s criticisms of President McKinley (document 3) 4. The sinking of the Maine (document 2) 5. The coverage of these events by the media (yellow journalism) (document 2)
14
Based on the list we created about reasons that justify the use
to American military, which of the criteria do you believe were satisfied March 1898? Responses should include When American interests are in danger When American citizens are in danger When an American ally has been attacked When the U.S. has been attacked When essential resources are at stake / How were the events such as the Cuban-Spanish War and the sinking of the Maine depicted in the press? Flowery language (yellow press) used by the newspapers such as “atrocities, tortured, horrors, and shock.” Large headlines, graphic cartoons, and constant coverage of only one side of the issue /
15
How influential might the press coverage have been on American
decision makers? Although the press coverage was biased and at times overwhelming, it was the actual events that drew the U.S. closer to war and the press coverage took advantage of the events that had occurred. What do you believe led to the American declaration of war against Spain? Answers should reflect the multiple causality of the event, rather than a simplistic attribution of the cause of the war to one single event. Geographic importance of Cuba The economic ties between the U.S. and Cuba Cuba’s revolution against oppression (colonial rule) The de Lome Letter Explosion of the USS Maine The coverage of the events by the media

YELLOW JOURNALISM IN 1898 NEWSPAPERS PROVIDED THE PUBLIC WITH INFORMATION. PEOPLE LACKED THE ABILITY TO VERIFY IF THE STORIES WERE BIASED OR INACCURATE AND THEREFORE RELIED UPON NEWSPAPERS TO TELL THE TRUTH. PULITZER AND HEARST TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE PUBLIC’S IGNORANCE BY TWISTING THE TRUTH TO SELL MORE NEWSPAPERS.

The U. S. public was especially sympathetic towards women in Cuba
The U.S. public was especially sympathetic towards women in Cuba. Hearst focused on a young woman, known in the United States as Evangelina Cisneros, who was imprisoned in Havana. Petitions for her freedom were signed by prominent U.S. women and the pope, and addressed to the Queen regent of Spain. Evangelina managed to escape with the help of correspondent Karl Decker, who probably bribed her guards. The story presented to the public was that of a heroic "journalist that acts."

What is the message of this cartoon?
Spain is represented as an animal who has murdered the soldiers in the background. He is stepping on the U.S. flag while standing on a grave of a U.S.S. Maine sailor. His blood soaked hand on the tombstone suggests Spain was responsible for the deaths of American sailors. Spain is represented as an animal who has murdered the soldiers in the background.

Teller Amendment, 1898 Joint resolution for the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding that the Government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the Island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect. Whereas the abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the Island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States, have been a disgrace to Christian civilization, culminating, as they have, in the destruction of a United States battle ship, with two hundred and sixty-six of its officers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and can not longer be endured, as has been set forth by the President of the United States in his message to Congress of April eleventh, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, upon which the action of Congress was invited: Therefore, Resolved, First. That the people of the Island of Cuba are, of right ought to be, free and independent.
33
THIS AMENDMENT DECLARED THE INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA AFTER THE WAR.
Second. That it is the duty of the United States to demand, and the Government of the United States does hereby demand, that the Government of Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in the Island of Cuba and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. Third. That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is, directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States, and to call into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several States, to such extent as may be necessary to carry these resolutions into effect. Fourth. That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction, or control over said Island except for the pacification thereof, and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to leave the government and control of the Island to its people. THIS AMENDMENT DECLARED THE INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA AFTER THE WAR.
