Madero and Màximo

What ultimately caused Màximo to lose faith in Madero, his old boss, with whom he had been very close as his personal guard in Casas Grandes, and where Màximo saved his life?

In an interview with the El Paso Times, Castillo asserted he had lost faith with Madero due to his unfulfilled promises and, above all, described the example of Morelos, the place where Màximo visited with a group of delegates to negotiate with Zapata in 1911.

Màximo's interview:

"There, I saw my dreams come true. Two vast states, Morelos and Guerrero, were building in their midst an agrarian republic after three years of continuous revolution. I saw how Zapata divided the great haciendas into small plots and gave them to men who were once peasants and warriors, and who had rebelled to protect their land."

In the memoirs, Màximo writes that due to Madero's lack of gratitude and appreciation toward the lower class allies, this ultimately led the Chihuahuense revolutionaries to rebel against the Madero regime.
