The U.S. was guilty of becoming what the rebelled from because while they fought to be left alone and independent, they took that from Hawaii. I would support the interpretation because Spain proved that they were not responsible for the engine explosion and offered to pay for it anyways. Regardless, the U.S. Pushed for war.
