Abstract
This chapter explores Afro-Cubans' contribution to the war and some dimensions of their military experiences. It also discusses the concerns their massive participation raised among certain white separatist leaders who did not hesitate to jeopardize Cuba Libre's most decisive victory against Spain—Maceo's invasion of the western part of the island—and to lobby for U.S. intervention in order to limit the revolutionary movement. Until 1895, white Cuban's fears of a black takeover similar to the Haitian Revolution hampered the nation's struggle against Spanish colonialism.
