Mallory, of Florida, on the Cuba Bill: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, February, 1859 Mr. Mallory. Mr. President, I prefer going on now, late as the hour is, because I perceive that unless the friends of this bill stand by it, we shall not get a final vote upon it. In rising, particularly after the address to which we have just listened, to support a bill which appropriates money for the purchase of the Island of Cuba, my mind is embarrassed and oppressed, not only by the multitude and variety of the topics which cluster around it, and which, as we have seen here at this moment, have, more or less, entered into the discussion, but by the importance and gravity of the considerations which it involves. The honorable Senator [Mr. Collamer] who has just taken his seat, has referred to this as a sectional issue, as if the South were supporting this measure to get a few more slave States into the Union, to restore the equilibrium between the North and the South. Mr. President, I approach this measure in no sectional spirit, and shall discuss it without reference to its northern or southern aspect. The maintenance of the equilibrium between the slave-holding and nonslave-holding States, the equilibrium of numbers, or of population and representation, is a delusive hope, and one which I have long since surrendered. And, thank heaven, sir, we are independent of any such balance of power. Sir, let me assure the northern States here represented, that if I supposed southern rights dependent upon such equilibrium, I would exert every effort to induce at least my own State to withdraw from the Union at once. No, sir; our rights in this confederacy are not to be held by the permission of a majority of States. They must ever depend, under the Constitution, upon our enlightened patriotism; and, so long as we shall have loyal hearts and strong arms, with the blessing of heaven we will maintain them against all odds, - as those will learn who undertake to invade them. Mr. President, this is no idle discussion. Whether we shall have a vote or not, the results are to be tangible for good or evil. If this bill shall pass both Houses of Congress, nay, if it shall pass but the Senate, I trust it will appear to Spain at least as a shadow which certainly tells of coming events. Nay, sir, whether it shall pass this body or not, the effect will be, inevitably, that by concentrating and enlightening public opinion, it will prove to Spain that there is a destiny which shapes the ends of this country, to which she, no less than ourselves, must submit. Therefore, sir, I want the discussion; I believe the effect on the main question will be of vital consequence, whether the bill shall pass or not.

Book excerpt: The histories of Cuba and the United States are tightly intertwined and have been for at least two centuries. In Race to Revolution, historian Gerald Horne examines a critical relationship between the two countries by tracing out the typically overlooked interconnections among slavery, Jim Crow, and revolution. Slavery was central to the economic and political trajectories of Cuba and the United States, both in terms of each nation’s internal political and economic development and in the interactions between the small Caribbean island and the Colossus of the North. Horne draws a direct link between the black experiences in two very different countries and follows that connection through changing periods of resistance and revolutionary upheaval. Black Cubans were crucial to Cuba’s initial independence, and the relative freedom they achieved helped bring down Jim Crow in the United States, reinforcing radical politics within the black communities of both nations. This in turn helped to create the conditions that gave rise to the Cuban Revolution which, on New Years’ Day in 1959, shook the United States to its core. Based on extensive research in Havana, Madrid, London, and throughout the U.S., Race to Revolution delves deep into the historical record, bringing to life the experiences of slaves and slave traders, abolitionists and sailors, politicians and poor farmers. It illuminates the complex web of interaction and infl uence that shaped the lives of many generations as they struggled over questions of race, property, and political power in both Cuba and the United States.

Download or read book Slavery and the American West written by Michael A. Morrison and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the sectionalization of American politics in the 1840s and 1850s, Michael Morrison offers a comprehensive study of how slavery and territorial expansion intersected as causes of the Civil War. Specifically, he argues that the common heritage of the American Revolution bound Americans together until disputes over the extension of slavery into the territories led northerners and southerners to increasingly divergent understandings of the Revolution's legacy. Manifest Destiny promised the literal enlargement of freedom through the extension of American institutions all the way to the Pacific. At each step--from John Tyler's attempt to annex Texas in 1844, to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, to the opening shots of the Civil War--the issue of slavery had to be confronted. Morrison shows that the Revolution was the common prism through which northerners and southerners viewed these events and that the factor that ultimately made consensus impossible was slavery itself. By 1861, no nationally accepted solution to the dilemma of slavery in the territories had emerged, no political party existed as a national entity, and politicians from both North and South had come to believe that those on the other side had subverted the American political tradition.
