Criollos

...Until the end of the 18th century, Cuba remained a small, economically unimportant colony, with a small population and a peasant community that produced livestock, tobacco, and sugar.
[After the Sugar Revolution]
However, at the end of the 18th century, a slave revolt broke out in the neighboring French colony of Saint-Domingue (Haiti), destroying the island's thriving sugar industry, the United States gained independence and emerged as Cuba's trading partner, and the enlightened landowning class of criollos (indigenous Spaniards) in Cuba sought the liberalization of the import of black slaves and actively lobbied the Cuban government to allow them to own large amounts of land, which they succeeded in achieving.

The sugar industry further developed from the 1840s onwards with the introduction of railroads and steam engines, and by 1860 Cuba had already become the world's largest sugar producing region.
