Abstract:

Rebellion against Spanish rule in Cuba persisted from 1868-1898 and during this period America was urged to support the Cuban uprising. The South, and especially North Carolina opposed military involvement because suffered so greatly from the recently ended Civil War and was in the midst of Reconstruction. Looking at newspaper accounts, the author analyzes the state's response to escalating military actions and Cuba and North Carolinians' reluctance to back a war with Spain.
