The Teller Amendment was an amendment to a joint resolution of the United States Congress, enacted on April 20, 1898, in reply to President William McKinley's War Message. It placed a condition on the United States military's presence in Cuba as to be only occupied in case(s) of WAR!

One of the greatest results of the war was the bonding between the North and the South, healing our pain from Civil War that was only some 30 years before.
