citation 2 and corresponding quote

The below quote is seriously misleading, and is cited with a total crap source that is more unreliable than wiki itself! "U.S. troops were not needed to put down the Liberal revolt, since the military leaders of the successful revolt [2]" first of all - it was not a liberal revolt - tomas estrada palma was a liberal. Louis A. Perez Jr characterizes the revolt as undertaken by moderates in opposition to Palma and the liberal camp. Second of all - the US DID intervene in 1906 to overthrow the moderate government, and placed Palma's camp back in power (although not under his leadership)- there was an "election" in 1908 under US supervision in which the libs were back in power this info comes from perez' book "the US and Cuba: ties of singular intimacy" page 154 thanks

did this one man get the US to declare war on Spain over Cuba? I thought the beginning of the Spanish American War was more complex than this. Facts? Thanks Hmains 02:45, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Various

This needs cross referencing more.

I have removed "He became Cuba's first elected president, but later resigned." as that duplicated other comments.

I find "Estrada Palma was reelected in 1906, but this time against violent opposition by the Liberals, who claimed election fraud. U.S. troops were not needed put down the Liberal revolt, since the military leaders of the successful revolt, negotiated nominally with William H. Taft and Robert Bacon but in reality with U.S. General Frederick Funston who had also been at Mambi, took their "borrowed" horses and went home." unclear - what is it saying ?
