Trujillo built his image with his job as a military leader, being apart of the National Guard that was inaugurated by the US forces in DR, and was a telegraph operator which was one of the first high-tech jobs during the time. (this job consisted of using telegraph keys to communicate with land line or radio with Morse code). He eagerly participated in suppressing the Guerilla war movement.

Others argue that the Mirabal sisters sacrifices were effective for the revolution since it changed the future of their country. I deem the sisters sacrifices are justifiable because their sacrifices had an important purpose. Isn’t it true that Trujillo's was absolutely in power for 31 years however, because of the three young sisters his cruel regime ended.
Origins and Consequences of the Stono Slave Revolt In the pages of Stono: Documenting and Interpreting a Southern Slave Revolt, editor Mark E.
