Additional Assignment – History 101


The speech traces the U.S – Cuban political relationship to the period before the abolishment

of slavery and the role of the American civil war in this relationship. The speaker notes that

the civil war was not just about the future of the United States but of the world. Indeed the

participants of that war viewed it as such. Hitherto, asserts the speaker, historians have

misunderstood and, therefore, misrepresented the position of the American civil war in the

history of the transatlantic and the world and indeed its place in the study of revolutions.

Revisiting the American civil war and placing Cuba’s connection to it would allow historians

to answer the question why civil war and why this civil war? Through evidence and numerous

examples the speaker is persuasive in his revision of the events that informed and continue to

impact the U.S – Cuban relationship.


The speaker begins by placing this relationship in the context of global politics

surrounding the issue of slavery in the Americas thus removing it from being viewed as an

isolated event. Cuba did not exist in a vacuum and the United States had ulterior motives apart

from just pushing for the annexation of Cuba into its territory. Exploring the connection of all

these events gives the problem context and allows the speaker to take the audience from one

point to the next without losing them. The isolation and exclusion of Haiti, he states, meant

that Cuba’s plantations became larger and more productive to meet the demands of sugar

markets that were previously served by Haiti (12:23). This meant more slaves were shipped

into Cuba, more 750,000 in the 19th century and the fear of native Creoles of being pushed to
