Antillean Confederalism

History
Antillean Confederalism was an ideology that advocated for unity via a confederation of the Dominican Republic, Cuba & Puerto Rico.

Their goal was to create a united Spanish-Caribbean nation, an idea that had a significant level of support during the late 1800s. Some supporters even wanted to include Haiti or Colombia into this union, however this was not supported by all its adherents.

Its main idea was to subsequently end all European colonialism in the Americas due to its heavy influence by the Monroe Doctrine. The phrase "America for the Americans" was changed by Ramón Emeterio Betances into "Antilles for the Antilleans".

Strong supporters of this ideology included.


 * José Martí, often referred to as "The Apostle of Cuban Independence".
 * Eugenio María de Hostos, also known as "The Citizen of the Americas".
 * Gregorio Luperón, the hero of the Dominican Restoration War.
 * Ramon Emeterio Betances, a medical doctor and revolutionary from Puerto Rico.
 * José de Diego, a prominent lawyer and advocate for Puerto Rican independence.
 * Anténor Firmin, a Haitian politician and anthropologist.
