Following the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898,
pro-war arguments prevailed in the American press, influencing
public opinion in favor of engaging in the Spanish-American War-or
so goes the popular version of events. Yet there was a substantial
anti-imperialist segment of the public that tried to halt the
advance towards conflict. Drawing on a range of contemporary
sources, the author analyzes the anti-war arguments that preceded
the Spanish-American War and continued during the war in the
Philippines. News articles, letters to editors, opinion pieces and
the yellow journalism of the day show how anti-war groups
ultimately failed in their political goal to prevent a war with
Spain.
