The chance of living more than ten years is near immpossible. They would enivitabley revolt against oppression and try to liberate themselves. The main objection of Barbarous Mexico is to expose the total authoritarian rule Diaz posseses. Turner has three main parts to this mexican story. This created a dictatorship that allowed Diaz to control every aspect of the peoples lives. The author gives us grim look into the life of the plantation slave. The first chapter sets the tone for the book. During the rule of Diaz the people were left behind. First is the slave life on the plantations, the second is the elite society of the Diaz adminstation, and last is foriegn countries. There is no hope on the plantations. Probaly the worst job in the mexican labor system. The platations Turner witnessed first hand were in the Yuctan and Valle Nacional. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**.
