Trivia[]
Michael Stivic's claim that the United States seized Texas from Mexico was inaccurate. Texas in fact declared independence from Mexico in 1836, nine years before it was annexed by the United States, as an independent republicand also fought a revolution against Mexico during this time.https://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-resources/spotlight-primary-source/texas-declaration-independence-1836 https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/texas-revolution Some of the details that the schoolbook alleged about Cuban Independence were inaccurate as well. Spain was in fact not so cooperative during the war. waiting to sue for peace until after the U.S. had virtually captured not only Cuba, but also the Philippines and sunk some destroyer ships.[1] In contrast to what the schoolbook Edith read to Archie suggested, President McKinley was not a dedicated war hawk with regards to the Spanish American War. He was in fact incredibly reluctant to declare war against Spain and was in fact among the last major U.S. political figures who remained opposed to a war against Spain when many others had agreed to support it.
