Brother-in-law of Domingo del Monte and the most famous member of a prominent sugar planter family (Domingo de Aldama was his father). By the 1860s the Aldamas were firmly entrenched in the hierarchy of the sugar industry. They tried unsuccessfully to run some of their mills with only white labor, since legal slavery was in its final stages in Cuba. Miguel led the Club de la Habana in the 1840s, but when the American Civil War ended any prospect of an annexation by the United States, he joined the Partido Reformista, hoping to obtain political reforms from Spain. He eventually embraced the independence movement, traveling to New York to raise money for the Ten Years’ War. The war ruined him, and he died in poverty in Havana.

Tanto esfuerzos desde los 1,800 por cientos de cubanos que dieron sus fortunas y vidas por una Cuba 🇨🇺 libre y soberana para que 60 años después cuando éramos el primer país de America Latina (en solo 60 años), nos llegarán tres o cuatro comunistas a cambiar nuestro rumbo.
Yo no lo veré pero el día llegará que nuestra Patria volverá a ser libre y soberana y estoy segura que en menos de 60 años volverá a brillar por los esfuerzos de sus ciudadanos. Hicimos una nueva ciudad en 40, Miami. Por que no rehacer nuestra Cuba??
El Señor los ayudará!!! Uds lo verán!!!
