TR orders the squadrons to prepare for the war that he wants so badly.
APRIL, 1898
McKINLEY CAN NO LONGER RESIST / ASKS CONGRESS
FOR DECLARATION OF WAR
Even after the strange explosion on the Maine, President McKinley, Speaker of
the House Thomas Brackett Reed, and America’s business community had all
urged a negotiated solution to the manufactured crisis in Cuba. McKinley even
communicates with the Pope in hopes for a peaceful mediation. (12) But the
warmonger coalition in Congress and the New York Press is now too strong.
Feeding off of Roosevelt’s vile slanders, the Yellow Press runs headlines such as
“Spanish Murderers" and "Remember the Maine". It is interesting to note that
when McKinley finally surrenders to the inevitable, he never mentions the
sinking of the USS Maine. That’s because he knows that Spain is innocent and,
unlike Roosevelt, isn’t willing to lie to the American public.
