The important issue was the Bank War and at that time " the seventh president" Andrew Jackson try to destroy the 2nd bank of USA because he felt that it was an establishment or corporation for the rich and elite people of government to get benefit from the working class people, so Andrew Jackson was a protector of rights according to democracy.

In 1898, USS Maine was sunk in its arrival to Havanna as part of an oficial visit. President Mckingley had been intervening before in the Spanish-Cuban conflicts with the aim of preventing the start of a war. He had talked to the Spanish leaders with conciliatory words, trying to convince them of solving peacefully their conflict with Cuban insurrectionists.
Then, after the two explosions that caused the sunk of Maine, he abandonned his hopes for neutrality and spoke firmly and fiercely when blaming the Spanish for the incident and when adopting the resolution of declaring war to the Spanish.
