I'm always amazed how quickly the Zapatistas leveled the Plan de Ayala against Madero. Fully embodying their motto, "Reforma, Libertad, Justicia y Ley", Zapata's revolutionary followers saw Madero's simple reorganization of the government as yet another failing on behalf of an elite ruling class over the Mexican citizenship. As the lower class played an essential role in Madero's rise to power, his neglect towards their plight was especially egregious.

I'm glad that you chose to add a paragraph for Agustin Victor Casasola. His depiction of the revolution gives context and emotional weight to the history.
