Summary "A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents: William McKinley" by James D. Richardson is a historical account compiled in the early 20th century that captures key communications from President William McKinley during his term, particularly surrounding the Spanish-American War. This compilation presents McKinley’s messages to Congress, his proclamations, and executive orders related to the war, providing insight into the political climate and challenges faced by the United States during this pivotal era. The opening of the book details McKinley’s background, highlighting his early life, military service during the Civil War, and political career leading up to his presidency. It introduces his special message to Congress regarding the dire situation of American citizens in Cuba and outlines the humanitarian crisis resulting from the conflict in Cuba, illustrating his administration's concern for both American interests and Cuban welfare. Additionally, it sets the stage for McKinley's subsequent discussions on intervention and the complexity of the U.S.'s diplomatic relations with Spain, as the situation in Cuba escalates toward war. This portion of the text not only illuminates McKinley's perspective but also serves to frame the events that would culminate in a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy.
