New York expanded to 115th Street, rife with corruption. Cuban-born Miguel de Aldama sought refuge in the city, fraternizing with the Vanderbilts, Astors, and Belmonts. He offered $100 million to buy Cuba but, receiving no answer, became the main benefactor of the Ten Years’ War, dedicating his assets to Cuba’s independence.
