Cora Montgomery, the Filibuster: between US Expansionism and Cuban Annexationism

Abstract
Although the Cuban annexation movement has been thought of as a predominantly male phenomenon, it, from the beginning, had the support of U.S. journalist Jane Cazneau, who, under the pseudonym Cora Montgomery, became the first editor of the newspaper La Verdad
(1848-1860). Cazneau fostered a transnational alliance between Cubans and U.S. citizens, based on republican morality, American identity, and the white “race.” Additionally, she defended the incorporation of Cuba as a new border for the Union as well as the head of the American Mediterranean and turned the cause of annexation into an abolitionist issue, in order to persuade her fellow citizens in the north.
