When McKinley became President, the depression of 1893 had almost run her and with it the extreme agitation over silver. Delaying action on the money issue, he called Congress into special session with the highest rate in history to be determined.

Public indignation brought pressure on the president before the war. Can Congress or the American people to reduce, McKinley delivered his message of neutral intervention in April 1898. Congress then voted three resolutions tantamount to a declaration of war for the liberation and independence of Cuba.
In the 100-day war, the U.S. destroyed the Spanish fleet in Santiago harbor in Cuba, seized Manila in the Philippines, and occupied Puerto Rico.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, later Speaker of the House of Representatives, once said that McKinley his ear so close to the ground that it was kept full of grasshoppers. When McKinley undecided, what about Spanish possessions other than Cuba, he traveled the country and discovered an imperialist sentiment.
