Abstract:

In 1898, North Carolina and the United States stood on the edge of a new, modern age. Conflicts involving race and politics drew much notice, particularly the Cuban Revolution. After the destruction of USS MAINE, the United States declared war on Spain; many North Carolinians played a role in the fighting, coastal patrol duty, and produced a number of heroes throughout the Spanish-American War.

Abstract:

In his long career as a writer and businessman, James E. McGirt bestowed praise and admiration for the Spanish-American War, the Philippine-American War, and the involvement of African-American soldiers. While he acknowledges that people of color had been mistreated by white Americans before, he does not concede the similarities in treatment towards Cuban and Filipino citizens during this war. His work, therefore, has been criticized for being a sugarcoated, glossy view of American expansionism and African-American opinions.
