Many farmers were detractors of the establishment of banks and railroads, which were crucial and visible drivers of the economic progress in the country.

Farmers were suffering some times of hardship and they believed that, on one hand, railroad companies were taking over their lands and decreasing the amount of their harvests and also that banks were attracting and funding different types of businesses and economic activities that were the causes of their miseries, as the economic focus in general was shifting to them and investments on agricultural activities were severly affected.
