Abstract
The passage of the Wilson-Gorman Tariff in 1894 devastates the Cuban sugar market and contributes to civil unrest and revolutionary activity on the island Charges of Spanish human rights violations against Cuba are reported extensively by U. S. newspapers. The Cuban exile community in Florida urges the United States to become involved. When an explosion on the U.S.S. Maine anchored in Cuban waters kills hundreds of Americans, newspapers accuse Spain of deliberately bombing the ship, triggering a national frenzy. This crisis becomes a mechanism for reviving the nation in midst of severe Depression as young men rush to sign up for the military. The McKinley administration demands that Spain repeal its reconcentrado policy. Spain tries to comply but revolutionary forces refuse to agree to an armistice.
