Madera and the Rebels in Morelos

Emiliano Zapata had just taken Quauella days before the Treaty of Ciudad Juarez was signed. He joined forces with other leaders who had been fighting alongside him but not necessarily under him and they jointly moved into the capital of Quaue no Vaca taking control of the city without firing a shot. The increasing solidarity of the Morelos rebels was important not just to secure their own lives from threats of mutual assassination but also to protect themselves from troubling hints of what was to come now that the revolution was over.
