## Public Title

`Lares duró horas, pero el recibo siguió`

## Source-Safe Thesis

The Grito de Lares did not win militarily, but source trails connect it to independence, abolition, jornalero labor controls, colonial authority, and reform pressure Puerto Rico kept remembering.

## Receipt Spine

- EnciclopediaPR identifies the Grito de Lares as the Puerto Rican revolution for independence from Spain, carried out on September 23, 1868.
- The Municipio de Lares says hundreds took Lares, proclaimed independence, arrested Spanish authorities, abolished the libreta de jornaleros, and declared enslaved people who joined the revolution free.
- The source trail says Spanish troops defeated the movement the next day toward San Sebastián, followed by more than 500 arrests and a January 1869 amnesty.

## Guardrails

- Do not say Lares won independence; the sources say the uprising was defeated quickly.
- Use careful causal language: say sources connect the Grito with reform pressure, not that it singlehandedly caused abolition or autonomy.
- Keep the receipt broader than a single date: independence, slavery, jornaleros, colonial authority, and memory all belong in the frame.
