The Castro family was one of the larger sugarcane families in Cuba and at one point Fidel and Raul's father had over 400 Haitian "workers" (slaves). I should also point out that Ángel Castro, the father, collaborated with the United Fruit Company to gain much of his wealth, the same company that instigated the American backed coup in Guatemala.

Fidel and Raul Castro were correct to give up their family's land.
