1 июн 1877 г. - El Paso Salt War

Описание:

“Began when Anglo businessmen tried to make a private monopoly out of salt mine traditionally shared by the Mexicano communities. We remember Las Gorras Blancas of New Mexico, a secret organization of the poor against the rich [...] Their platform said, ‘Our purpose is to protect the rights and interests of the people in general and especially those of the helpless...If the old system should continue, death would be a relief to our suffering. And for our rights, our lives are the least we can pledge.’” (pg45)
