Negro Rebellion
After the discovery of America, slavery was shortly introduced and over 800,000 people were enslaved in Cuba, as Cuba was the largest Slave Hub, primarily Taínon and Guanahatabey peoples who mixed with the slaves from Africa thus making Afro-Cubans. There was also a genocide against the Taínon by the Spanish. Evaristo Estenoz made the Partido Independiente de Color which was a party that wanted equality for Afro-Cubans in the sugarcane industry as many of them were employed there. When the PID was first made, many Afro-Cubans supported the movement since it pushed for equality and better working conditions.
