For what reasons did Americans favor providing aid to the Cuban revolutionaries?

Americans favored providing aid to the Cuban revolutionaries because they wished to help them overthrow the Cuban dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista and bring democracy back to the island. The Cuban government had become increasingly oppressive and oppressive against its own citizens, making it difficult for them to enjoy basic rights and freedoms. Cuba’s proximity to the US also caused many Americans to sympathize with the Cuban revolutionaries and feel that the US government had a duty to intervene. The US saw Batista as an authoritarian figure and Cuban revolutionaries as progressives. The Cuban revolution also connected to a broader political environment in the US, as it represented a struggle against a powerful dictator, as well as a struggle against US and Western imperialism in Latin America. Finally, many Americans simply felt that it was in their best interest to provide aid to any people seeking out freedom and democracy.
