Americans React Many Americans were sympathetic to Cuban rebels Pg 556 Asked the US gov’t to intervene to kick out the Spanish Others wanted the US to intervene to safeguard American investments in Cuba Americans had $50 million invested in Cuban sugar and rice plantations, railroads, and iron mines

President Cleveland ignored the call to intervene McKinley became president in 1897, also tried to stay neutral Joseph Pulitzer (New York World) and his rival, William Randolph Hearst (New York Journal) focused on Cuba “Feeding prisoners to the sharks” Land of “blood on the roadsides, blood in the fields, blood on the doorsteps, blood, blood, blood” Daily horror stories fed American outrage against Spain Pg 557
