Most Floridians are aware of the name Jose Martí and his significance to the Spanish-American War; however, many of these same people fail to understand that Martí and this war are just the tail end, albeit the triumphant end, of a long struggle for independence that lasted approximately thirty years. From 1868-1878, Cuban rebels fought for Independence in what has become to be called, “The Ten Years War” (Poyo: 1979, 289). While the wealthy Cuban elites relocated to New York, it cannot be forgotten that it was the displaced Cubans in Key West, Florida that largely financed the military efforts of The Ten Years War. Not only did they raise the majority of the money, but also supported the campaign themselves by joining different expeditions and raids throughout the war effort. In this account, I hope to give you a better understanding of how the thousands of Cubans who fled to Key West during the diaspora of the Ten Years War, while almost forgotten, became the foundation layers of the Spanish-American War, and the baton that would pass between generational, Cuban, rebel leaders against the Spanish presence on their island.

Now, how does the Latino culture play a part of a Latina’s self-esteem? There is this concept, Marianismo, that affects a girl's self-esteem in a good and bad way. Marianismo is the female equivalent of machismo; it is considered to be the realization of the feminine, and characterized by hyper feminine behavior. This could seem bad because it’s basically women accepting their roles, such as, housewives, in the Mexican culture.

Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin was born on July 1st, 1804 in Paris, France. She was a French romantic writer who is widely known for her rustic novels. She was raised in Nohant, the country home of her grandmother, which is where she developed her love for the countryside, which was illustrated in most of her works. She married Casmir Dudevant in 1822, but soon got tired of his lack of sensitivity after a few years. She developed a platonic relationship with a young magistrate and then, a passionate affair with a neighbour. She moved to Paris in 1831, where her friend Henri de Latouche, the director of the newspaper Le Figaro, accepted some of the articles she wrote with Jules Sandeau (under the pseudonym Jules Sand).

As I observed every one of them, I noticed that each piece of art revealed a different story and that was truly amazing in my eyes. Even though there were a diversity of paintings, there was a certain image that caught my eye. It was a picture of a beautiful French lady in a light blue dress. This gorgeous French lady used to be a daily customer at Virgilios and because of that, the owner at that time demanded that they have a painting to remember her by and so they did.
