- Fort San Felipe
Laborers at Fort San Felipe revolted on January 20, 1872, after discovering deductions from their pay for taxes and forced labor fines.
The mutiny was sparked when laborers received their pay and realized taxes and the falla had been deducted. This dissatisfaction was fueled by orders from General Izquierdo abolishing privileges such as exemption from tribute and forced labor. The uprising was unsuccessful, leading to government crackdowns on nationalist movements.
