Obviously it was no coincidence to anyone, Trujillo intended to intimidate potential followers of the ever-growing rebellion. Their fight to the end showed how proud and willing they were to fight for a better life and break the chains of oppression. They showed that they would not tolerate living miserably under an unjust government and that was truly inspiring. This is a genuine and desirable characteristic which they have strongly maintained and has earned them due respect and honor. They set a brilliant example of how the will to make a difference can have drastic and incredible results, whether effective or not in the immediate situation at hand, encouraging those around them to question the value of their freedom.
