Yellow fever

Before putting your huge homework project into the article, please fix the basic style issues, particularly MOS:CAPS. Do you capitalize yellow fever, nor words beyond the first in headings. In references, use italics for book titles. Better yet, use Template:cite book. It would also be good to explain your intentions on the article talk page.

You do, however, need to capitalize the first words of headings. And lowercase "yellow fever" in running text. See any article for a clue. I moved you talk post to the bottom where it might get seen. Dicklyon (talk) 22:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

the main problem: your long essay is mostly about yellow fever, which is a different topic; a two sentence statement is sufficient here since no major historian of 1898 has endorsed this idea. Why is that? Better read the Journal of Southern History which states: "Epidemic Invasions does fall short in making a solid case that the Spanish American War and the subsequent spread of American imperialism in the Caribbean and Pacific were outcomes of a renewed public-health consciousness in the United States. Aside from the urgings of southem congressmen from constituencies directly affected by yellow fever, Americans were generally sympathetic and charitable toward Cubans in the face of the Spanish army's reconcentrado policy. When yellow fever did appear in mainstream public discourse before April 1898, it was discussed in terms of avoiding the fate of past invasions of the island. The lack of contingency planning for invasion and the low priority given to sanitary and medical support during the operation tend to undermine the case for a war promoted and planned in response to the potential spread of disease to American shores."
