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.
