The liberalisation of the slave trade in the Spanish Caribbean ended with a series of political measures which aimed to revitalise the practice of slavery in the region. After granting a series of monopoly contracts (asientos) to merchant houses based in other western European nations to supply slaves to Spanish America, the Spanish monarchy decided to liberalise import mechanisms. These reforms turned Cuba, especially Havana, into the most important slave trade hub within the Spanish Caribbean. Havana was connected with both Atlantic and inter-colonial trade networks, while other authorised ports imported slaves from other Caribbean territories; Spanish, British, Dutch, Danish and American traders all participated in this trade, and slave trafficking became the most profitable form of commerce in the region during this period.

加勒比海事件:西班牙加勒比海奴隶贸易的自由化,1784-1791

西班牙加勒比地区奴隶贸易的自由化以一系列旨在振兴该地区奴隶制实践的政治措施告终。在向其他西欧国家的商人授予一系列垄断合同 (asientos) 以向西班牙裔美国人供应奴隶后,西班牙君主制决定放开进口机制。这些改革使古巴,尤其是哈瓦那,成为西班牙加勒比地区最重要的奴隶贸易中心。哈瓦那与大西洋和殖民地间的贸易网络​​相连,而其他授权港口则从其他加勒比地区进口奴隶;西班牙、英国、荷兰、丹麦和美国商人都参与了这一贸易,贩卖奴隶成为这一时期该地区最赚钱的商业形式。
