Answer: The ralling cry pushed by the media was "Remember the Maine!"

Explanation:

The ship sank on the 15th of february of 1898 on the port of Havanna, Cuba, controled by Spain during that time. Although it is thought that the explosion that lead to the sinking of the ship was accidental, the press blamed Spain and incited the government to declare war as a response to a perceived attack on the U. S.
