The correct answers are C) the U.S. gained power in the Caribbean and D) U.S. newspapers stories on Spanish injustices.

Public sentiment in the United States grew increasingly in favor of Cuba Independence because the United States gained power in the Caribbean and U.S. newspapers stories on Spanish injustices.  

The Cuban Independence movement began with what is known as the “10 Years War”. Cubans did not like the Spanish government, the lack of Cuban representation on decisions, and the taxes imposed on them. That is the reason why a man called Carlos Manuel de Cespedes united a big portion of the people in Cuba to declare the Cuban Independence in October 1868. That is when the war began. Due to U.S. presence in the Caribbean and newspapers stories on Spanish injustices, the United States decided to intervene in the conflict, initiating the Spanish-American War.
