Sugar Making in Cuba Exposes Harsh Planting Era Practices
A Casier’s Magazine excerpt recalls twenty years past sugar production in Cuba with slave labor, crude processing, and high waste. Cane was ground in a three roller mill, then boiled in multiple kettles to concentrate juice, with rough heating and smoky emissions. Impurities rose, crystallizing pans formed sugar, hogsheads drained and shipped, showing slim profits amid high sugar prices.

Alabama’s Civil War steam cruisers reshaped world trade
The Alabama and its 10 other steam cruisers conducted attacks that shifted U S ocean commerce. The result was a dramatic transfer of trade from American bottoms to foreign flags, with New York’s carrier share collapsing from two thirds in 1860 to three fourths by 1868. The Atlantic trade never fully recovered. Purifying tonics and patent cures are advertised alongside the war note.
