LAD #22 McKinley's War Message

In 1898, President McKinley addressed Congress by demanding that the war with Cuba be ended. He stated multiple reasons that this war should end, the first one being that America end all barbiturates in Cuba because it is their duty. Next he urged that the proper help should be offered to the people of Cuba so that they may be protected and guaranteed life and property. Third he threatened that if we did not intervene then it would result in a decrease in trade, business, property, and land. Lastly, McKinley stated that this war was a severe threat to the freedom in America.
