Pact of Zanjón
- Date
- 1878-02
- Title
- Pact of Zanjón
- What occurred
- After 10 years of rebellion, both Spanish and rebel leaders met in Zanjón to make a peace agreement. The Pact of Zanjón temporarily eased tensions as it was agreed that slaves who fought in the rebellion would be granted their freedom (about 16,000), along with some additional reforms. However, this agreement did not subdue everyone, and insurgencies later continued because not all of the rebels were satisfied and this later forced the Spanish to bargain with other rebels, such as Antonio Maceo.
