In the 1890s, Cuba wanted to get their freedom from Spain. People like Jose Marti petitioned Americans to side with the Cubans and the poor treatment they were receiving from Spain. Also, there was a lot of support in the newspapers called "yellow journalism" where American people were sympathizing with the cause to go against Spain in war. This especially was true with a man nicknamed "The Butcher", Valeriano Weyler, who was a military leader from Spain placed in Cuba to put people in concentration camps.
As a result, America felt a strong sense of patriotism and business reasons to go to war with Spain. After the <em>USS Maine</em> exploded, the United States declared war on Spain.
A similar situation happened in the Philippines, where Spain had a high influence and America did want to free the Philippines from Spain, but then also had their own agenda to take over the Philippines, as it was in a strategic location in the Pacific for trade.
When trying a minor we need to think about all different aspects of the childs developmental habits.
Does the child have a learning disability?
Are they at an age that is not fully developed so they may not have realized what they were doing?
The future is the children and the younger generations, so how can we expect to lock them away for their entire lives and in doing so possible cost the world one of the advencements this child may have made?
There should be some form of a contingency plan on the lifetimes sentence, especially for children under the age of 13.
Good Luck! I hope some of these help!
