Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from History of Our War With Spain, Including Battles on Sea and Land: Containing a Graphic Account of the Destruction of the Battleship "Maine;" Dewey´s Great Victory at Manila; Sinking of the Spanish Fleet at Santiago; Battles of San Juan and El Caney; Surrender of Santiago; Invasion of Porto Rico, and End of the War; To W Our country has passed through the throes of war with Spain. Under most circumstances war is to be deplored, but history shows that even with so peace-loving a nation as our own, there come times when aggravations under which we have patiently suffered can no longer be tolerated with honor and self-respect. Spanish domination of the Isle of Cuba has been so relentlessly merciless, and has occasioned such horror and unrest in our own land, that war has indeed seemed prefer able to a further continuance of the abhorrent barbarities continuing with such cruel persistence at our very doors. Humanity and our national peace of mind, together with the rights which citizens of the United States had in Cuba and on the high seas, apart from the reparation justly and speedily due for the treacherous loss of the battle-ship Maine and her gallant crew, demanded that our country should assert its authority and promptly maintain the honor of its flag. War came upon us, therefore, as a last resort. The President of the United States, knowing full well the awful expense of life and treasure that would have to be yielded up in a foreign conflict, permitted negotiations for an honorable and peaceful adjustment of our difficulties with Spain to run to the extreme limit.
