The Spanish-American War and the Presidio On April 21, 1898 , the United States declared war against Spain. The causes of the conflict were many, but the immediate ones were America's support of Cuba's ongoing struggle against Spanish rule and the mysterious explosion of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana Harbor. It would be the first overseas war fought by the United States, involving campaigns in both Cuba and the Philippine Islands. The Spanish fleet guarding the Philippines was defeated by the U.S. Navy under the command of Commodore George Dewey on May 1, 1898. Ignorant of Dewey’s success, President McKinley authorized the assembling of troops in order to mount a campaign against the capital of Manila. The military base best suited as the staging point for troops bound for the Philippines was the Presidio of San Francisco. The majority of these soldiers were volunteers, originating from all over the United States, gathering and training at the Presidio before the long sea voyage to the Philippines and their part in, as Secretary of State John Hay put it, the "splendid little war." The Presidio’s Role The Presidio was a natural staging point because of its proximity to the finest harbor on the west coast, and possessed enough land to house and train large numbers of troops for service in the Philippines. The first soldiers left the Presidio in May 1898, and consisted of the 1

The Spanish-American War On February 15th, 260 American sailors were killed when the battleship Maine blew up and sank in Havana harbor. The war with Spain began in April 1898, when Major General William Shafter, a former commander of the 24th Infantry led an expeditionary force of over 17,000 men, including nearly 3,000 Black regulars, into Cuba. Although the Spanish American War was ostensibly fought to liberate Caribbean and Philippine islanders from Spanish oppression, the participation of Buffalo Soldier and Black volunteer regiments in this war was not without controversy. African Americans questioned whether they, who were deprived of civil rights by federal and state laws and were being lynched and terrorized in the South, should fight for a government that recognized them as a citizen in name only. Articles in the Black press during the war showed a diversity of opinion in the African American community. Editorials Against Fighting "If the Government Wants Our Services

OREGON took part in the destruction of the Spanish Fleet at Santiago, Cuba , and is credited for actions against the Spanish vessels INFANTA MARIA TERESA VISCAYA ALMIRANTE OQUENDO PLUTON, and FUROR in that engagement. BACKGROUND: The USS OREGON was one of the new fleet of battleships promoted a special board created in 1890 to recommend the manner in which to update the U.S. Navy so that it could defend adequately against the imperial world powers, as well as by the nations of South America (several of which had larger vessels than any in the U.S. Navy). The board realized the need for battleships with a long-range cruising capability. However, many members of the United States Congress were in favor of Isolationism, and opposed long-range battleships as they were obviously not intended strictly for coastal defense. To assuage fears of the Isolationists, the new class of vessels were called "Sea-going coast-line Battleships". The name, an all-covering oxymoron, was thought to be particularly brilliant and useful by

Tampa was placed in a unique position of importance in the summer of 1898 as thirty thousand U.S. Army troops converged on our area on their way to aid Cuba in its fight for independence from Spain. As a result, the Spanish-American War put Tampa on the map for the first time in history. In addition to its geographical location and its deep water port, the choice of our city as a point of embarkation was directly related to Henry B. Plant - his railroad line, his ships, his luxurious Tampa Bay Hotel, and his lobbying. Listed herein are some of the events that will highlight this significant period in our history. I hope that your participation in these events is an educational and enjoyable experience. Sincerely

Monday, September 26, 2005 Login Register       Home       Who We Are ...       508 Accessible Version While the United States tried to preserve strict neutrality in the struggle between Spain and Cuba, Americans were getting sick of watching the Cubans being slaughtered. After damage had been done to United States-Spanish relations, the United States battleship Maine, anchored off Havana, exploded, killing 260 crewmembers. "Remember the Maine!" became the battle cry throughout the United States. Congress declared war on April 25, 1898. Rough Riders The most famous of all the units fighting in Cuba, the "Rough Riders" was the name given to the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt resigned his position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in May 1898 to join the volunteer cavalry. The original plan for this unit called for filling it with men from the Indian Territory, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma. However, once Roosevelt joined the group, it quickly became the place for a mix of troops ranging from Ivy League athletes to glee-club singers to Texas Rangers and Indians. Roosevelt and the commander of the unit Colonel Leonard Wood trained and supplied the men so well at their camp in San Antonio, Texas, that the Rough Riders were allowed into the action, unlike many other volunteer companies. They went to Tampa at the end of May and sailed for Santiago de Cuba on June 13. There they joined the Fifth Corps, another highly trained, well supplied, and enthusiastic group consisting of excellent soldiers from the regular army and volunteers.

The war was fought over the question of Cuban independence. Cuba had risen against the Spanish regime. The atrocities committed by the Spanish authorities aroused sympathy in the Americans for the Cuban fight for freedom. Theodore Roosevelt and his small band of supporters in the Congress wanted to intervene and liberate the Cubans. The U.S declared war on Spain, when a U.S battleship ’Maine’ was blown up in the Havana Harbor, Cuba. The public was furious. And the Slogan: Remember the Maine! To hell with Spain

71. Castonguay: Spanish-American War In United States Media Culture Thus the history of the war with Spain will be recorded for the benefit of future According to the special spanishamerican war correspondent, the war http://chnm.gmu.edu/aq/war/recep1.htm

Receptions of War An article in the June 6, 1898, Indianapolis News entitled "Photos of the Conflict" suggests yet another interesting connection between the film industry, the news media, and the military while also providing valuable insights about potential films and audiences reactions to them : The "Yanko-Spanko" war, as they call it in England, is to have its photographic side. . . . In fact, the Government is going to organize immediately a floating photographic studio, which will make pictures of every possible incident in the great conflict that is now beginning. It will be equipped, regardless of expense, with all kinds of apparatus and appliances for work of this description. Thus the history of the war with Spain will be recorded for the benefit of future generations not only in writing, but also in a vivid pictorial shape that will appeal to the understanding of the smallest schoolboy. The photographic apparatuses include, among other things, an X-ray machine for taking "shadowgraphs" of bullet wounds and "photo-micrographic appliances" for creating a "pictorial record. . .of the greatest value to medical science. . .that will save suffering to others in the future." According to the "special Spanish-American War correspondent," the War Department planned to convert a vessel from the Brooklyn Navy, rename it the Relief , and send it to Cuba under the aegis of the Red Cross. While the reporter claims that "the government photographer selected to take charge of this work is not permitted to be mentioned at the present," it almost surely refers to pioneer roentgenologist Dr. William Gray, who eventually did serve in Cuba onboard the Relief during the Spanish-American War.

Evans' account of the Naval Battle of Santiago GENERAL: The USS IOWA was the very newest American battleship in the Spanish-American War. Like the INDIANA class, IOWA was classified as a "Seagoing Coastline Battleship", but she was a better sea boat than the earlier battleships. She took part in the Battle of Santiago on July 3, 1898. BACKGROUND: USS IOWA was assigned to the Atlantic Fleet, and was ordered to blockade duty off Santiago de Cuba on May 28, 1898. She was the first US ship to sight Admiral Cervera's Spanish ships coming out of the channel on July 3, and fired the first shot in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba. In a 20-minute duel with Spanish cruisers MARIA TERESA and OQUENDO , IOWA's effective fire helped set both ships aflame and drive them upon the beach. Later in the engagement, IOWA joined with INDIANA and GLOUCESTER in destroying the Torpedo Boat Destroyers PLUTON and FUROR . IOWA then turned her attention to the Spanish cruiser VIZCAYA which she pursued until the Spanish ship was run aground and surrendered. After the battle, IOWA received on board many Spanish prisoners, including

The Spanish-American War and President McKinley Lewis L. Gould x, 166 pages, illustrated, 6 x 9 Paper ISBN 0-7006-0227-5, $9.95 This succinct, readable paperback, an outgrowth of the author's highly-acclaimed volume The Presidency of William McKinley, deserves widespread adoption in courses on late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century US. diplomatic history and foreign policy. It substantially supersedes other accounts of the coming of the Spanish-American War, the war itself, and the aftermath of the conflict. Based on the most up-to-date research available, it provides a new and refreshing perspective on McKinley's handling of the war. According to Gould, McKinley's expansive view of presidential power had a significant effect on his role as commander-in-chief during the war years and on his efforts to make the White House a command post. McKinley laid the foundation of the modern presidency by his courageous and principled presidential leadership during the coming of the war, by the way he conducted and oversaw the war itself, and by the manner in which he made peace with Spain, acquired the Philippines, and gained approval of the Treaty of Paris in the Senate. Gould's thought-provoking analysis may cause scholars to rethink the era in a new way; its lively style will be appreciated by students.

The American defeat of the Spanish indicated the transition that was taking place the decline of Spain, and other European colonial powers, and the rise of the United States in the century that would eventually become known, in the words of Henry Luce, as the American Century. This splendid little war gave the United States the territories of Cuba and Puerto Rico, and began the American ascent to superpower status.
