    LOL - that was a media generated war ! It was the very origin of the term:
"yellow journalism"
starting with the explosion of the Battle ship Maine which seems to have been an engineering error but the press blamed on the Spanish. See:

I am not sure what role race played. I suppose if you were Hispanic you were not happy with the US but if you were black you approved. Better Google Spanish American war race relations.
