What is the significance of the ostend manifesto in terms of american interest in cuba and the spanish american war in 1898? why was there so much internet in cuba both before and after the civil war

1.      The Ostend Manifesto (believed to be authored by James Buchanan in 1854) was a document that described a rationale for the United States to purchase Cuba from Spain as the slaveholders sought new territory for slavery's expansion. The document implies a shift in foreign policy and justifies the use of force to seize Cuba in the name of national security. This document was seen as a treat by Spain and to imperial power in Europe and resulted in a war in 1898.

2.      The Republic of Cuba is a country comprising the island of Cuba, island Isla de la Juventud and several minor archipelagos. The location of Cuba was always convenient for trade because Cuba is located in the northern Caribbean, where the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean meet. The base of economy is the trade, exports of sugar, tobacco, coffee and skilled labor. Hence the interest in Cuba before and after the Civil War.
