How many natives were in Antigua when the English first arrived?
It was the Spanish who first arrived in 1493 in the Island group that includes Antigua, at that time occupied by small numbers of Arawaks. These natives were replaced at some time around 1500 by Island Caribs, who seem to have taken over by force after a long period of warfare with the Arawaks. The English colonists arrived in 1632, but they seem to have been unable to distinguish between one native group and another (despite the language differences). No count of the native population was ever made, so it is not possible to say how many natives were in Antigua at that time. The Caribs of Antigua were wiped out in 1640.
When was Haiti discovered?
Haiti was discovered by Christopher Columbus on December 5, 1492. It became the first permanaent settlement of the Americas by Europeans. Columbus first named the island 'La Isla Espagnola' which means the "The Spanish Island". Hispaniola is what the whole island is called today and is made of of two countries; The Republic of Haiti on the western portion of the island and The Dominican Republic in the east. When it was discovered by the Spaniards, the first inhabitants were the Taino natives. It was here where the "Barbeque" cooking was first seen. The natives were eventually all killed by the by the 1500's. This left the island occupied by the Spanish, which neglected this western portion due to the many settlements of French buccaneer pirates especially in Tortuga (island). Many decades later, the Spanish decided that they could no longer control it and signed a Treaty of Ryswick with the French that ended up splitting the island into a 2:1 ratio, with the smaller area going to the French. The latter became Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

There is some evidence to suggest that the ancestors of Native Americans and Mongolians shared a common genetic lineage, originating from East Asia.

Why did Cuba want independence from Spain?
Here is an expanded (short) answer: The original role of Spain in Cuba following Columbus' exploration of the island was to expand the realm of imperial Spain by building settlements and establishing trade with the natives. An additional focus of Columbus and the Spanish Crown was to introduce Christianity to the island. However, this is not what is taught in in many American High Schools and Universities. They continue to demonize the Spaniards as savage pirates who were murders and rapists. Obviously they did not read Colombus' journal entries from the time which are full of his experiences, thoughts and are well preserved and widely available. I would like to remind everyone that it was the natives in Cuba who decided to attack and kill the Spanish settlers first and through an act of self defense the Spaniards reacted with force to put down their aggressiveness. This set the tone for other Spanish policies towards the natives throughout the rest of the conquest of the Americas. In addition, many of the natives were killed by diseases that they were not immune to. This was not biological warfare as some teachers, professors and other activists like to teach but was rather an accident.
