They convinced the American public opinion that it was the right thing to do
Explanation:
Propaganda is part and parcel of any war and just like during the Iraq War, the Yellow Press (embodied by people such as Pulitzer or Hearst ) convinced that Spaniards were close to monsters and had to be defeated. It is a form of propaganda that Noam Chomsky calls "The fabrication of consent".
