ABSTRACT
A situation created by forces outside the Peninsula brought movements inside Yucatan to a head and suddenly stopped the radical aspects of the Revolution there. The usual verbal stance for Mexican military insurrections appeared in the message: Sanchez stated their desire to avoid bloodshed at the moment they took up arms against the government, made affirmation of no material or political ambitions, and spoke of their duty as revolutionaries and military men. On December 7, de la Huerta signed a revolutionary declaration in which he accused Obregon of tampering with the legislative and judiciary branches, plotting with the "Praetorian Guard," and violating state rights, especially in San Luis Potosi, Veracruz, Michoacon, Zacatecas, and Coahuila. Carrillo was very much aware of the fact that the Indios had not experienced military participation in the Revolution, and that very few of them had ever fired a pistol.
