  • En la historiografía cubana, el Año del Cuero es el nombre dado al año 1844, cuando las autoridades españolas coloniales torturaron y fusilaron a cientos de esclavos para destapar la Conspiración de la Escalera, una supuesta confabulación para rebelarse el sistema esclavista que sostenía la industria azucarera de Cuba. Ya en los años anteriores se vinieron dando diversos levantamientos entre la población negra, tanto esclava como liberta, entre los cuales cabe destacar la sublevación del ingenio La Alcancía, en Cárdenas. Sin embargo, ninguna tuvo la violenta respuesta de las autoridades como la de 1844, de ahí su nombre; los acusados eran atados a una escalera y molidos a latigazos.​ En analogía al Año del Cuero, el año 1963 fue bautizado como el «Año del Cuero Duro» por las milicias castristas de la Lucha contra bandidos.​ (es)

La Escalera (the ladder) alludes to the fact that slave suspects were bound to ladders and whipped with the lash when they were interrogated. Historians have debated over the years whether the Conspiracy of La Escalera was real or whether it was largely an invention of the Spanish authorities to justify a crackdown on abolitionists and the Afro-Cuban population, though at this point there seems to be a consensus that some kind of revolt was planned. The British consul to Cuba, David Turnbull, was convicted in absentia of being the "prime mover" of the conspiracy. Turnbull had already been expelled by Cuban authorities two years earlier. (en)
