Spanish American War Yellow Journalism Poster

Pretend that you are a newspaper owner in 1898. Create a poster that encourages
the United States to war against Spain in Cuba. You only need to use 1 sheet of
white paper.

The poster needs to include at least 1 picture to excite Americans to be involved
in the war and a catchy headline. Since we are doing yellow journalism, your
headline should show EXAGGERATION. USE COLOR!!! We love color!!!

The poster needs to include 3 facts about what the newspapers claimed was going
on in Cuba (how are the Spanish treating the Cubans?)
