Zapata And The Mexican Revolution Heather Toneff 11/13/03 Zapata and the Mexican Revolution The Zapatistas were rebel groups under the rule of Emiliano Zapata. A man of local ties in the state of Morelos, Emiliano Zapata fought for the locals. He began as an independent fighter, trying to reclaim land that had been unfairly and unjustly taken from other locals. These lands were under the rule of haciendas, and these haciendas were owned by rich people. The idea that seemed to have emerged throughout the reign of Dictator Porfirio Diaz was that the rich should have a right to everything in order to be richer and to provide a wealthier economy for Mexico itself. Seeing the injustice in this matter, Emiliano Zapata eventually took matters from a state level to a national level. Fortunately for himself, Zapata was trusted by his followers; after all, he was one of them. Unfortunately, Zapata learned in a rather hard way that not everyone can be trusted, and those who seem to be trustworthy probably are even less likely to deserve trust. Zapata and his followers can be commended for their constant devotion to their cause, although not all of them.
