Congress passed the Teller Amendment in April 1898 in response to the growing sentiment for war against Spain, particularly regarding the situation in Cuba. The amendment was introduced to ensure that the United States would not annex Cuba after its liberation from Spanish rule, affirming the U.S. intention to support Cuban independence. This was aimed at addressing concerns that the war was primarily for territorial expansion, thereby garnering public and political support for the conflict. Ultimately, the Teller Amendment emphasized the U.S. commitment to self-determination for Cuba.
