Question

how did actions of the spanish during the cuban revolution affect american attitudes?
americans opposed the brutal tactics of the spanish.
americans felt the spanish were taking a reasonable approach to the cuban revolution.
americans were happy when the spanish accepted help to settle the conflict.
americans thought the spanish should have negotiated with the rebel leader martí sooner.

Explanation:

During the Cuban Revolution, the Spanish used brutal tactics like concentration camps. American media (yellow journalism) reported these harsh methods. This led to public outcry in the US. The idea of the Spanish taking a reasonable approach (Option 2) is wrong as their actions were violent. The Spanish did not accept help to settle the conflict in a way that would make Americans happy (Option 3 is incorrect). There was no major sentiment about the Spanish negotiating with Martí earlier (Option 4 is not in line with the main public reaction). The main reaction was opposition to Spanish brutality.

Answer:

Americans opposed the brutal tactics of the Spanish.
