The United States was initially sympathetic to Cuba's independence because C. it wanted to drive out European countries from the hemisphere.

Before the Spanish-American War, Cuba had been fighting for three years to become independent from Spain, and this increased America's interest in the territory, which was really close to United States and suffered from politic and economical instability.

The American public created sympathy for the Cuban revolutionaries because there was a general indignation regarding brutal Spanish tactics. Also, the U.S. had always wanted to rule the Western Hemisphere. In 1823, U.S. President James Monroe, addressing the Congress and the nation, declared that the country would withstand any European colony's intention of extending to the Western Hemisphere.
