Abstract
Chapter 9 examines a social movement, the Hermanos Cheos, born and bred in the tobacco patch. Lay preachers led countless farm hands and small farmers into this new religious movement. The U.S. invasion in 1898, the 1899 hurricane, the crisis of Catholicism, and the collapse and reorientation of tobacco markets all contributed to the breakdown of normalcy in tobacco agriculture that created a favorable environment for their strong apocalyptical message. The subsequent expansion of the tobacco leaf market to the United States seems to have been a crucial component in the diffusion of the movement. Lastly, the Cheos gained influence when the disruptions of order dissolved, at least partially, the bonds that tied smallholding peasants, sharecroppers, and peons to tobacco hacendados, leaf dealers and credit merchants.
