The quest to define the social and historical context in which these events took place guided the inquiry. An explanation of the nineteenth century social setting would partially account for the transformations occurring during that time: the uprooting of a society, transitions in social institutions, and the imposition of a different rule of law, as ideology and as instrument of control. Consequently these developments generated social conflict.
