Title
Zapata and other villagers finally took up arms
What occurred
The inhabitants of Anenecuilco elected Emilian Zapata president of their village council. Becoming president he vowed to defend the lands of his village, first through the judicial system by asserting the property rights laid out in old title deeds, and then by appealing to the governor of Morelos. These needs and poverty rights were violated which led Zapata and other villagers to take up arms a mouth after the beginning of the Madero revolt.
