Lone Star Society and Cuba’s Path to Independence
The Lone Star Society founded in Alabama 64 years ago aimed to extend US influence across the Western Hemisphere. The group backed expeditions against Cuba, supporting Narciso Lopez until his 1851 execution, then renewed plans in 1854 until a presidential proclamation halted them. After decades, Congress finally granted Cuba independence, with Manila Bay and Santiago marking the shift away from Spanish rule.
