Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for Cuba: Addressed to the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, Urging Immediate Action in Aid of the Struggle for Independence Now Going on in That Island The President's message has chilled the hearts of those who hoped that our Government would be disposed to help the struggling patriots of Cuba. There was evidently a great struggle in the Executive mind (or minds) in preparing this morceau for the public taste. "The United States, the freest of all nations" - alas, how is the sacred name of freedom degraded! "Its people sympathise with all peoples struggling for liberty and self government" - sympathy is cheap! "We should abstain from enforcing our views upon unwilling nations without invitation." Old Spain has not invited us to act against her interests in regard to Cuba; therefore we must stifle our "warm feelings and sympathies" for our near neighbors "struggling for independence and freedom." "This nation must be its own judge when to accord the rights of belligerents." But we think the Cuban patriots have nut suffered enough - there has not yet been a sufficient number of martyrs in this holy cause of liberty; not enough Cuban women and children have been sacrificed, not brave men enough have been shot in cold blood or butchered like beasts. The Cubans only hold more than half the territory of the island; they have only sustained their independent government for more than a year against the combined naval and land forces of Spain; Spain, which, though contending against itself, is yet united in holding Cuba in bondage. So we think that Cuba, has not yet done and suffered enough, for us to do more than say, we are sorry for her.

Download or read book Leonard Wood and Cuban Independence 1898 1902 written by James H. Hitchman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the Military Government of Cuba from 1898 to 1902. Tracing and explaining the actions of General Leonard Wood's adminis tration during those years reveals how the United States Government re solved the questions of independence, strategic security, and economic inter ests in regard to Cuba. Leonard Wood, Secretary of War Elihu Root, Senator Orville H. Platt, and President William McKinley formulated and carried out policies that had a strong influence on subsequent Cuban-American relations. The broader aspects of this study, civil-military relations and American imperialism, are topics of importance to all citizens today. This is institutional and biographical history, written in the belief that a full ac count of the men, action, and circumstances will add to our understanding of the period when the United States emerged as a world power. I am indebted to Professors Gerald E. Wheeler of San Jose State College and Armin Rappaport of the University of California, San Diego, who di rected my research in the early stages, and to Professor Eric Bellquist of the University of California, Berkeley, for his criticism of the manuscript when it was in dissertation stage. To Professor Raymond J. Sontag I would like to pay special tribute for his guidance and inspiration through the years. The assistance of my mother, Mrs. Sue Hitchman, is deeply appreciated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuban independence arrived formally on May 20, 1902, with the raising of the Cuban flag in Havana - a properly orchestrated and orderly inauguration of the new republic. But something had gone awry. Republican reality fell far short of the separatist ideal. In an unusually powerful book that will appeal to the general reader as well as to the specialist, Louis A. Perez, Jr., recounts the story of the critical years when Cuba won its independence from Spain only to fall in the American orbit.The last quarter of the nineteenth century found Cuba enmeshed in a complicated colonial environment, tied to the declining Spanish empire yet economically dependent on the newly ascendant United States. Rebellion against Spain had involved two generations of Cubans in major but fruitless wars. By careful examination of the social and economic changes occurring in Cuba, and of the political content of the separatist movement, the author argues that the successful insurrection of 1895-98 was not simply the last of the New World rebellions against European colonialism. It was the first of a genre that would become increasingly familiar in the twentieth century: a guerrilla war of national liberation aspiring to the transformation of society.The third player in the drama was the United States. For almost a century, the United States had pursuedthe acquistion of Cuba. Stepping in when Spain was defeated, the Americans occupied Cuba ostensibly to prepare it for independence but instead deliberately created institutions that restored the social hierarchy and guaranteed political and economic dependence. It was not the last time the U.S. intervention would thwart the Cuban revolutionary impulse.
