This is a very interesting man that was totally mad but had many people backing him up here in America in 1850. Read about this man and you can easily compare it with the Spanish government's mentality and their intentions behind their alliance with Cuba now.

From The History of Cuba:

Narciso López was a Venezuelan born Spanish general who led several filibustering expeditions into Cuba with the goal of liberating the island from Spain and preserving slavery.
