LAD #22 McKinley's War Message

President McKinley delivered this message as a result of the continual disputes between the Spanish and Cubans. These two countries had many problems that needed to be resolved but when the USS Maine was sunk by the Spanish it really set off the United states, and as a result the support now leaned towards the Cubans. McKinley brought up this event in support of his statement that the United states has been economically and politically effected due to this unnecessary war. This was then followed with the topic of American intervention between the two to end all the disputes, but mainly to end their effect on American's.
