Bernardo O'Higgins sought to break up the large estates in Chile to promote social and economic equality, reduce the power of the elite landowners, and empower the peasantry. He believed that redistributing land would encourage agricultural development and improve the livelihoods of the lower classes. By dismantling the feudal-like structures, O'Higgins aimed to create a more just and productive society, fostering national unity and stability in the newly independent nation.
