Sumario:When the Spanish-American independence was forged, Cuba was immersed in a process of redefinition of its economy and society that would eventually impose its specialization in the production of sugar to export and the massive slave trade that it required. The process implied a redefinition of its colonial relationship with Spain, and although this may help to understand the reason why it remained united to the metropolis, when the rest of its continental empire in the Indies was emancipated, the reason is that the project of the elites in which this redefinition was based is similar to that of the commercial and port oligarchies of other parts of Spanish America, the main beneficiaries of secession in the last instance.
