Mark Twain says "It should, it seems to me, be our pleasure and duty to make those people free, and let them deal with their own domestic questions in their own way."  and he is against america's conquering of any land. ]]> 2020-10-22 13:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rpmoore1/hprv35crdtwo1qb6/wish/852238372 https://padlet.com/rpmoore1/hprv35crdtwo1qb6/wish/852245096 This argument is supporting the wars as the Cubans were being starved and governed horribly by the Spaniards and they needed help as, Senator Redfield Proctor, a Vermont republican states towards the supreme court “the spectacle of a million and a half people, the entire native population of Cuba, struggling for freedom and deliverance from the worst misgovernment of which I ever had knowledge”

The author believes that war is going against the principles of the Government. He states, “...in the land of Washington and Lincoln to reaffirm that all men, of whatever race or color, are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness… We insist that the subjugation of any people is "criminal aggression" and open disloyalty to the distinctive principles of our Government.”]]> 2020-10-22 13:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rpmoore1/hprv35crdtwo1qb6/wish/852247999 mjbell31 https://padlet.com/rpmoore1/hprv35crdtwo1qb6/wish/852270915 according to our article the united states should have declared war on the Spanish, according to Senator Albert Beveridge the benefits of imperialism is too lucrative to deny. there is land and natural recourses plus according to Americans Cubans need help governing anyway.]]> 2020-10-22 13:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rpmoore1/hprv35crdtwo1qb6/wish/852270915
