Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Las Gorras Blancas was a group formed by Mexican-Americans in the late 19th century to protect their lands and interests, particularly in response to the encroachment by Anglo-American settlers and land grabbers in New Mexico. They were known for their acts of sabotage against those they saw as threatening their way of life, such as cutting fences and burning barns, to protest against the unfair land seizures and to protect their communal lands.
