Title
Slaves return to Spanish captivity
What occurred
The captain general of Cuba wrote that 32 slaves returned to enslavement rather than continuing to be free under the insurgents. The mambis were so poorly treated as they were subjected to pseudo enslavement. Sometimes they preferred slavery to the "freedom" given to them by men like Cespedes.
