| | Cuban Flibustering in Jacksonville in 1851 |
 | | Jacksonville was an important gathering point for both 1851 filibuster expeditions, in conjunction with other Cuba invasion battalions formed in New Orleans, Savannah and New York. |
 | | Filibusters worked in secrecy, used code names in correspondence delivered by confidential couriers, and kept few records of their activities, because they could be used as evidence of violation of the Neutrality Law of 1818. |
