Douglas had previously defeated Lincoln in the 1858 United States Senate election in Illinois, known for the Lincoln–Douglas debates.

During the 1850s, Douglas was one of the foremost advocates of popular sovereignty, which held that each territory should be allowed to determine whether to permit slavery within its borders.

1. McKinley lists four reasons as evidence that war with spain/an invasion of Cuba was necessary. List the four reasons below in

geniusboy [140]

1. The first reason is because of the inhumane treatment taking place in Cuba at the hands of the Spanish. The second reason is as a democratic nation the US has an obligation to protect people wanting to gain independence. The third reason to go to war is the interference that has occurred in American trade. The last and fourth reason is to protect US citizens doing business in Cuba.

2. The explosion of the USS Maine was used by McKinley to prove that the US is not safe while conducting perfectly legal and legitimate business in Cuba. The navy was on a US ship in a harbor they had permission to be in from the Spanish. Though McKinley does not state the Spanish were directly responsible for the explosion, he states they did not protect the US ship and therefore were responsible indirectly. Using emotional language and a plea to America to support the war, the USS Maine became a symbol of oppression and the impact European countries have on the US.
