It was a cool fall evening and Emiliano Zapata just met with the President Madero who he helped put in power. Emiliano said'' the people of Mexico want their land back so they don't live in poverty.” Madero responded “why work for the farmers when you could be rich and not farm” The farmers worked long exhausting hours to have given up most of their money to the haciendas. President Madero did not want to work with Emiliano “ I don't want to work with you, you're too radical ''Madero stated. Emiliano and other revolutionaries fled to the mountains to the north. Emiliano Zapata and Otilio Montano created the Plan of Ayala.
It was a long and hard process. Otilio stated “We need a good plan to remove Madero and give Mexico back to the people.” It took Emiliano and other leaders two and a half years to make the plan. Emiliano had to figure out how to get President Madero out of power while distributing the land to the peasants of Mexico. Emiliano led guerilla fighters to take down Madero’s army and give land to the people.
Emiliano screamed “ land of liberty!’ before going to battle. The battles were short because Emiliano’s men would ambush Madero’s troops giving them no time to shoot back. Emiliano and his fighters scared Madero so badly he tried to flee the country. Gen. Huerta murdered Madero before Emiliano could get to him. Emiliano and Huerta had a meeting “ Mexico is free now Emiliano but I run it” Emiliano said “ Mexico belongs to the people not one person” Emiliano and his forces fought Heurta’s army. Emiliano had gained allies. Venustiano Carranza, a politician, had established an army to defeat Gen. Heurta. Emiliano rewarded his men “You will all get land for your good deeds tomorrow.”
Emiliano and the Constitutionalist Army made Gen. Heurta flee the country. Emiliano knew that a new leader would emerge if there was no leader of Mexico. Emiliano met with Pancho Villa, the commander of North forces. Emiliao said “ We both want what is best for Mexico. Let's team up and bring peace to Mexico.” Pancho accepted his offer. Emiliano was going to meet with a hacienda to make a deal about the land he owned but Gen. Pablo, a General that was trying to take down Zapata, Pablo told Jesús Guajardo “kill em show no Mercy!” Emiliano was on his way to meet with Pablo but he was Ambushed. His death hurt the revolution but it didn't stop it. Emiliano believed that a revolution should not focus on one person and he is one of the world's greatest revolutionary.
