Description: "Commonly in collaboration with local authorities, Salvadoran elites used terror to divide and control peasant and indigenous communities in late-19th century. After 1912 a shift to reliance on repressive force of National Guard reduced tensions within peasant communities, promoting more unified response to outside demands, while participation in Ligas Rojas provided rural population with valuable political experience"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
