They took charge to the revolution, they were looked upon by the slave to lead them to freedom. "To most Cubans Fidel Castro was a national hero; they rallied around him as he promised to improve their living conditions." (Video: Castro's Cuba",CBC News in Review, April1996) Second of all, slaves stood behind the revolutionist leaders and supported them in the fight for freedom, slaves became the soldiers and they looked at them selves as patriots. Fidel Castro's actions were supported by people, trade unions and students. "Many peasants joined or aided the guerrillas, while trade unions and students mobilized support in the towns." (C.Sunshine, Pg. 180) Finally, All the revolutionary acts were planed, each act of revolutionist had meaning behind it, it was the blue print for the final product. Fidel Castro and many other revolutionists always planed and directed the revolution because without direction and plan every soldier would be for them self. The soldiers need a strategy, strategies such as, how to attack the enemy, when to attack and where to attack, to defeat the enemy and win the battle. It's very clear even though the first attack by Fidel Castro to create an uprising failed, it was very organized and a planed attempt. "A year after Batista's coup, on July 26, 1953, he and a group of companions attacked the Moncada Barracksin the eastern city of Santiago, hoping to spark a general uprising." (C.Sunshine, Pg. 180). Another example of a planed revolutionary act would be when the US planed to over throw Castro by training Cuban exiles, all though it was a failure it clearly shows that the over throw was planed and organized. To conclude, revolution had a leader, supporters and strategy for it to be successful. When you look at resistance it's totally different, it was never an organized act there were no leaders or strategy. The slaves resisted when ever they could and had to.
