	BookRags: Pedro Santana Biography
		Unlike his contemporary Buenaventura Baez, he was uneducated, rough, and uncouth; but like Baez, he did not lack for personal courage.
		Beset by financial problems and the ever present possibility of revolt, Baez resigned on Aug. 4, 1848, but was recalled to inflict still another defeat on the Haitians, who were trying to reconquer the Dominican Republic.
		Baez countered with accusations of despotism, which appeared to be accurate as Santana constantly fought with his Congress, banishing or shooting his opponents.

		Welles 1928: "Baez came to the conclusion that the institution of the Vice Presidency provided an unnecessary complication, and deliberately ignoring the provision of the Constitution, refused to proclaim General Juan Esteban Aybar, elected to fill the vacancy caused by Baez's own succession to the Presidency, Vice President of the Republic" (pages 175-176).
		Welles 1928: Baez flees on May 28th, and "the partisans of Baez, or the members of the 'Red' party, as they were now known, were completely defeated, and the 'Blues,' the term applied to all the elements opposed to the return of Baez, were in complete control.
		Welles 1928: Baez "was finally inaugurated on May 2d as President of the Republic, an office which, he announced, he had chosen in preference to that of Dictator, offered to him by the National Assembly" (page 341).

		Born in Santo Domingo, he was a successful lawyer and landowner before the revolt of 1844 that freed the Dominicans from Haiti.
		Seizing power from its more idealistic leaders, he became the first president of the “independent state of Spanish Haiti,” but had to alternate the office with his opponent Buenaventura Baez (1810–82) in order to repel repeated aggressions from Haiti.
		Convinced that the new nation needed a foreign protector to withstand its hostile neighbor, Santana in 1861 invited the Spanish to reestablish their control.

	Consulate of the Dominican Republic
		Nevertheless by that time the idea had matured, the revolution of 1873 overthrew Baez, and not only Baez, but also his enemy Santana; overthrew, in sum, the regimen that prevailed during the first Republic, and banished definitively all ideas of annexation to a foreign country.
		BUENAVENTURA BÁEZ "The life that under the action of a free spirit unfolded on the stage during more than a third of a century, reflecting, perhaps unconsciously, the characteristics of the collective entity, is as certain a reality as that very society of which it forms a part.
		If of that society, as in the case of Buenaventura, one wraps up a bundle and labels it with a single word or phrase, thus pretending to definitely characterize that entity, it does not alter in the slightest his eternal right to be studied and thereafter judged and classified accordingly.

	DR1 Forums - View Single Post - Article on Ramón Báez Figueroa in today's NY Times
		According to the article, Baez Figueroa is a direct lineal descendant of Buenaventura Baez, who was a five-time president of the DR in the 19th century.
		But, as is now evident, Buenaventura Baez never did succeed in selling the DR (though he did come close to selling Samana Bay to the US).
		Interesting that his direct descendant, Baez Figueroa, has in essense now succeeded in doing what his great, great, great, great grandfather failed at: selling (or, in this case, mortgaging), the country to foreign powers (the World Bank, IMF, US trade banks) for an amount shared only by Baez and his small circle.

		In 1870 the dictator Buenaventura Baez, surrounded by financial speculators from America, sought to sell his country to the United States.
		It was clear, though, that Baez was only after his own self-interest and stood to profit handsomely from any transaction.
		Grant, who greatly admired Babcock, then sent him back a second time with an actual treaty and, in case it was rejected by Baez, an agreement for the lease of Samana Bay as a naval station.

		Two leaders dominated the period between 1844 and 1864: General Pedro Santana Familias and Buenaventura Báez Méndez.
		Dissimilar in appearance and temperament, the two alternated in power by means of force, factionalism, and repeated efforts to secure their country's protection or annexation by a foreign power.
		Their unprincipled, self-serving dominance did much to entrench the tradition of caudillo rule in the Dominican Republic.

		A revolt broke out in 1844, the Haitians were defeated, a constitution was promulgated, and a republic was established under Pedro Santana.

		Unable to preserve order, Báez himself negotiated a treaty of annexation with the United States, which the Dominicans approved but which the U.S. Senate failed to ratify.
