    Bourbons had a big castle. They forced poor peasants to work for them on their fields. Peasants had to give all plones to Bourbons. Peasants didn't want to work for Bourbons so they rebelled. They suffered from hunger and poverty and they fighted for their rights and freedom. Peasants thought that the soil ang fields are their - not the Bourbons. They wanted to fight like they leader Carmine Crocco - one of the biggest outlaws who lived in Basilicata. They wanted death for the Bourbons!

    The Bourbons had secured a stone castle high on a hill. The local peasants resented the Bourbons and the power they had over the local area so they set up protests which lead to a rebellion headed by a renowned outlaw Carmine Crocco.The peasants feltt that the land was righfully theirs and wanted to retake the land back from the Bourbons so they prepared to fight for their cause and rule the land .

    The Bourbons governed Basilicata. They were cruel and ruled with an iron fist. Although they were very rich and had a lot of land, they made all peasants work hard on their fields. The peasants were always hungry, exhausted and led a life of poverty so they decided to fight for their rights and freedom. They did not want to serve the Bourbons any more. They dreamt of working their own soil and being independent. Their leader was Carmine Crocco. The Bourbons treated him as an outlaw, but the common people looked on him as a hero. The peasants suffered a lot in the war. It was the fight to the death. A lot of men, women and even
    children were killed during those bloody battles.
