Best Answer

This took place in New Mexico in 1872. It had to do with the Maxwell Land Grant being sold for one price and then resold for a huge price increase to an English Syndicate and from there to a Dutch concern. Another issue was that settlers had bought into the Maxwell Land Grant and built houses and the new concern aggressively made their situation intolerable. People died and were killed over the matter. In the end, people packed up and left the area.
