Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cuban Question: Speech of Hon. Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, in the Senate of the United States, Wednesday, April 13, 1898
Whereas the abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the Island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States, have been a disgrace to Christian civilization, culminating, as they have, in the destruction of a United States battle ship, with 266 of its officers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and can not longer be endured, as has been set forth by the President of the United States in his message to Congress of April 11, 1898, upon which the action Of Congress was invited: Therefore, Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, First. That the people of the Island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be, free and independent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
