 | | One of the most important influences in Marti’s early life was his mother, a stern believer in education even though she came, as did his father, from a poor working background. |
 | | The pact, however, provided little if any positive change for Cubans, and Marti was again banished for conspiring against the Spanish government at the beginning of “La Guerra Chiquita” (The Little War) on September 25, 1879, shortly after his son was born. |
 | | Marti warned Latin Americans not to send their children to study in the U.S., fearing that American wealth would encourage them to cast aside native values and look down on their own people. |
