American support for the rebels in Cuba was primarily fueled by a combination of economic interests and strategic considerations. The United States saw Cuba as a potential market for American goods and investments, and supported the rebels in order to gain influence over the island's future government. Additionally, the US government viewed Cuba as strategically important for maintaining stability in the region and preventing the spread of communism. This support ultimately led to the Spanish-American War and the eventual independence of Cuba.

Cuba is not far from Florida. America did not like the idea of having a strong and intimidating country living nearby. Also, Spain at one point took over Cuba, thinking of how close it is to Florida isn't such a good idea for America.

Because at the time, Americans favored rebels trying to break from from a distant imperialistic power.
