José Marto (KI) Matthew Taylor


                José Marti was a writer and poet who lived in New York during the 1880’s he brought together a group of people who have been banded from their native home in Cuba. This was a problem because they raised the money to buy guns and solders. After the group of band native Cubans razed money and bought their weapons and solders they invaded Cuba. This was a huge loss for America because they were closely linked economically with Cuba. Infect Cuba exported much of its sugar to America, and America invested around $50 million in Cuba’s sugar plantations. Because there was an invasion in Cuba the Cuban government went into financial distress. Since this happened   Marti’s followers launched a new rebellion against Cuba. Even though   Marti died in battle his follower’s seized control of eastern Cuba and declared their independents calling their land the republic of Cuba.
