Abstract

Chapter 3 turns to the 1850s campaigns for Kansas’s and Cuba’s statehood, unpacking some of the ways statehood posited Black freedom as a rationale for state-making. In particular, I look at the writings of Martin Delany, John Brougham’s play El Filibustero!, and John Brown’s Black statehood proposal. Kansas, formerly part of Indian Territory, became a state. Yet the United States maintained a more unusual relationship with Cuba, “read” by the US government and the press as a less amendable geopolitical space for the US imperial project. As I discuss at some length in earlier chapters, statehood and states’ rights were key colonial tactics for systematically delegitimizing and further discrediting Indigenous a priori land rights, and “reading” Kansas and Cuba together brings these truths to the fore. In the case of “Bleeding Kansas” sectional violence in the 1850s, popular sovereignty was staged as a fight over Black freedom, but in the end, statehood consolidated white male possessive power.

Keywords: Albery Albert Whitman, Bleeding Kansas, Cuba, El Filibustero, John Brougham, Martin Delany
