摘要

摘要历史学家长期以来一直对媒体在麦金莱1898年干预古巴的决定中所扮演的角色感兴趣。然而,大多数人把注意力集中在19世纪90年代的十年上,忽视了针对古巴的长期干预主义。本文利用威廉·L·克里滕登的故事来探讨干预主义者试图(但失败了)争取支持古巴干预的许多例子。克里滕登于1851年在一次失败的阻挠行动后被西班牙人处决。在接下来的四十年里,干涉主义者在报纸上写报道,举行喧闹的公众会议,写诗,出版小说,要求对西班牙进行报复。然而,Millard Fillmore、Franklin Pierce、James Buchanan、Ulysses Grant和Grover Cleveland没有选择干预。通过关注近50年而不是一年,这篇文章对媒体反映公众舆论的观点提出了质疑,并对“黄色媒体”将美国推入与西班牙战争的更大断言提出了质疑。无论他们喊着“记住缅因州”、“记住弗吉尼亚州”还是“记住克里滕登”,作家、编辑、诗人和记者都没有控制公众舆论的权力,当然也没有成功地操纵总统进行干预。

A Delayed Revenge: “Yellow Journalism” and the Long Quest for Cuba, 1851–1898
Abstract Historians have long been intrigued by the role that the press played in McKinley’s decision to intervene in Cuba in 1898. Most, however, have focused their attention on the decade of the 1890s, ignoring the long history of interventionism aimed at Cuba. This essay uses the story of William L. Crittenden to explore the many instances where interventionists tried (and failed) to drum up support for Cuban intervention. Crittenden was executed by the Spanish in 1851 after a failed filibuster raid. Over the next four decades, interventionists wrote newspaper accounts, held boisterous public meetings, penned poems, and published novels that demanded revenge upon Spain. Yet Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Ulysses Grant, and Grover Cleveland did not choose to intervene. By focusing on nearly five decades as opposed to a single year, this essay calls into question the idea that the press reflected public opinion and challenges the larger assertion that the “Yellow Press” propelled the United States into a war with Spain. Whether they shouted “Remember the Maine,” “Remember the Virginius,” or “Remember Crittenden,” writers, editors, poets, and journalists simply did not have the power to control public opinion and certainly did not prove to be successful at manipulating presidents to intervene.
