was not just interested in the lowering of the revenue demand. Many of them were small tenants
cultivating land they had rented from landlords. As the Depression continued and cash incomes
dwindled, the small tenants found it difficult to pay their rent. They wanted the unpaid rent to the
landlord to be remitted. They joined a variety of radical movements, often led by Socialists and
