Excerpt from The History of Cuba, Vol. 3
Sugar had long been the greatest source of Cuban wealth. It was always the sugar planter who had social as well as financial prestige on the island. Up to the middle of the nineteenth century even the poorest and smallest of sugar plantations had yielded a profit of a year while the larger and more prosperous ones had cleared even as high as annually. And all this had been accomplished with a minimum of effort. Vast areas Of Cuba at this period were given over to these plantations. Some estates devoted them selves exclusively to raising the cane, while others ran mills which ground the cane and prepared the product for sale as sugar. Particularly with the soil as it was then, unravished by revolution, with its original fertility unim paired, it was rarely necessary to replant the sugar cane. The old sprouts came up year after year, yielding at least two crops a year without any necessity for disturb ing or enriching the soil. In 1800 Cuba exported tons of sugar; and in 1850 no less than tons.
