The Puerto Rican campaign, examined in the context of the Spanish-American War, was a minor episode overshadowed by Dewey's attack on Manila Bay and the destruction of the Spanish fleet of Admiral Pascual Cervera at Santiago Bay in Cuba. None of the major figures that captivated the imagination of the American people, General Nelson A. Miles excepted, was involved in operations in Puerto Rico. Nonetheless, the island's history has been greatly influenced by the outcome of the war, when sovereignty over Puerto Rico passed from Spain to the United States.

In 1804 the government of Dessalines offered cash incentives to black refugees in the United States willing to return to Haiti. A decade later black Bostonian Prince Saunders devised an emigration scheme aimed at American-born free blacks. In 1824 the administration of Jean-Pierre Boyer sponsored its own scheme. Boyer was aware of the fears of many white Americans about the growth of their free black population. He believed that by permitting American free blacks to immigrate, he would win United States recognition for his regime. Between 1824 and 1826 an estimated 8,000 free blacks accepted Boyer’s invitation to settle in Haiti. At least 2,000 returned to the United States where they spread reports of sickness and ill-treatment. However, settlers fortunate enough to have health and education prospered in their new homeland. The emigration scheme ended in 1826, when Boyer refused to continue funding it. Although he gave as his reason fraud on the part of some of the emigrants, he had realized that United States recognition would not be forthcoming. Most black Americans who came to Haiti after 1826 were ex-slaves freed on the condition that they leave the United States.

A look at the population of that country, however, would seem to indicate that its people are considerably darker in complexion than Spain’s. For the racist, or one who shares an interest in race, this can be explained by, among other things, the twenty-two year occupation of the eastern, Spanish part of Hispaniola by the black Haitians and even the prior incursions dating back to Toussaint L’Ouverture’s invasion at the start of the nineteenth century. Another factor which, in addition to augmenting the process of “darkening” the Dominican people, greatly hampered the potential of the future Dominican Republic for effective self-government, was the emigration of Creole families from Spanish Santo Domingo in times of crisis ranging from the late 1700s up to the Second War of Independence in the early 1860s. Although a certain “darkening” of Spanish Santo Domingo was a result of this emigration, of far greater importance to this writer was its negative effect on the already strong proclivity for caudilloism (caudillismo), which has plagued the Dominican Republic to the present day.
