description Soon after the Napoleonic invasion of Iberian Peninsula, Cuban authorities began to expel, in 1809, all the French speaking inhabitants that were considered a hazard to the stability and peace of the island. Hundreds of them were recently arrived émigrés from the neighboring former French territories of Louisiana and Saint Domingue.
