| History of Mexico - The State of Morelos, Emiliano Zapata (3082 words) |
 | Emiliano Zapata was born on August 8, 1879 in the village of Anenecuilco, Morelos as the ninth of ten children of Gabriel Zapata and Cleofas Salazar, both mestizos of campesino (peasant) background. |
| Zapata tried to convince Madero that he should disband some of the haciendas and divide the lands among the nation's farmers. |
| Zapata's plan also called for the expropriation of one third of estate "monopolies." But Zapata was not out to destroy the Hacienda System and called for the indemnification of planters for the expropriated land. |
