Response to Lauren's Blog 6: The Next Palmares?

This was a really great connection!  The aspect I can really see the connection with is the fact that both groups have leaders that die, but the people continue to fight for what they believe in.  The leaders were who got the oppressed people rallied around a singular cause, but even after the leaders died, their ideals were carried out by the people.  It goes to show that a group is only has strong as its weakest link, and one link can't keep everything together.  Everyone must be strong in order to achieve the goals of the whole group.
