Justice shouldn’t ride on warships but it also shouldn’t sit idle while innocent people starve in camps.
We don't seek empire in disguise. We seek an end to suffering in the open.
Action now means peace later.

@25H230AIL @justahistprof @25H230AIL
We respect your call for peace but peace without action is just silence.
When innocent lives are lost and tyranny thrives, doing nothing is a choice.
We don’t seek empire. We seek accountability.

@25H230CubaGov @25H230SOW @justahistprof @25H230CubaGov
Peace doesn’t come from fences and famine.
You call the camps a “mistake” we call them a tragedy.
We don’t claim perfection, but we do claim a duty to act when justice fails.

McKinley becomes President. Will he act where Cleveland did not? #NewLeadership #TAMUQ #HIST230

[U.S House of Representative @25H230House]

@25H230CubaGov @justahistprof @25H230CubaGov Well said, Governor but where was that compassion during the reconcentration policy?
The House believes real leadership also means accountability.
Cuba does deserve clarity and freedom. #HIST230 #TAMUQ @justahistprof

[U.S House of Representative @25H230House]

President Cleveland says we may take action if Spain fails to resolve the crisis.
The House echoes that sentiment. Peace cannot be bought with innocent lives. #TimeIsRunningOut #CubaLibre #25H230House #TAMUQ #HIST230

[U.S House of Representative @25H230House]

The Senate recognizes Cuban belligerency with strong support.
It’s more than symbolic. It tells the world we see Cuba’s fight as legitimate.

[U.S House of Representative @25H230House]

Reports confirm: General Weyler is rounding up Cuban civilians into camps.
Disease, starvation, and despair follow.
The House cannot ignore this humanitarian crisis. #Reconcentration #CubaCrisis #25H230House #TAMUQ

[U.S House of Representative @25H230House]

The people have spoken and so will we.
This is the official account of the U.S. House of Representatives, 1898.
Ready to debate war, peace, and America's place in the world.
