The Spanish Gen. Valeriano Weyler gathered “campesinos” (farmers) into what we would
now call concentration camps to prevent them from helping or joining the Mambi Army.
As a child, my grandmother Carmen and her family were sent briefly to a
“reconcentration” camp. By the end of 1897, General Weyler had relocated more than
300,000 into such "reconcentration camps.” Although he was successful moving vast
numbers of people, he failed to provide for them adequately. Consequently, these areas
became cesspools of hunger, disease, and starvation where thousands died. In the
propaganda war waged in the United States, Cuban emigrés made much of Weyler's
inhumanity to their countrymen and won the sympathy of broad groups of the U.S.
population to their cause.
