Notes

1. The price of slaves remained relatively stable throughout the first half of the nineteenth century; it then began to grow from an average of about 380 pesos in the five-year period between 1850 and 1854, to more than 600 in 1860–1865, later leveling off at about 530–570 pesos; see Bergad, Iglesias, and Barcia (1995: appendix).

2. On the creation of the Spanish Abolitionist Society and its relations with Cuba’s liberal reformists, see C. Schmidt-Nowara (1999: 100–25).

3. The connection between abolition and free trade in Spain was established by A. Gil Novales (1968: 154–81).

4. In this respect, we share the argument put forward by J. A. Piqueras, who also believes that the abolitionism of the leaders of the 1868 Revolution could be due to their desire to consolidate a liberal and capitalist order (1992: 317–18).

5. On the abolitionist policy of the Mambises, see R. Cepero Bonilla (1948: 112–40).

6. On Maceo’s stance and the Baraguá Protest, see J. Ibarra (1967: 121–26); on its impact on abolitionism in Britain and America, see P. S. Foner (1973, 2: 297).

7. The party program appears in L. Estevez y Romero (1974: 57). On Autonomism in general, see L. M. García Mora (2001: 715–48), M. Bizcarrondo and A. Elorza (2001), and M. de la Torre (1997).

8. On the creation of the Constitutional Union, we are reproducing the text published in L. M. García Mora (2009: 303–38).

9. On the creation of the Constitutional Union, see I. Roldán de Montaud (2000: 125–55).

10. A good summary of the strategies of the Autonomist leadership, from the party’s foundation to the 1880 Abolition Law, can be found in “Veleidades,” Revista Económica (Havana), December 14, 1879.
