Editing The 1913 Kaijan Revolt (section)

==Background==
The United Sugar and Coffee Company was founded in 1854, to unite Sugar and Coffee plantations, specifically in the Kaijanese market. During the 1870s and 1880s, both industries grew immensely with the industrialization of farming, with smaller farms being absorbed into company settlements. Additionally, the USCC set up small businesses directly controlled by corporate management to get revenue from their worker's purchases. The USCC also prevented its workers from unionizing, often using police to arrest union leadership on charges of political disruption. In 1905, workers of the USCC made appeals to the federal government, as workers did not receive wages for certain weeks of work. As a result, the USCC was the subject of a federal investigation, which declared that workers had to be paid in standard currency instead of corporate meal tickets, which was commonplace in USCC settlements. In 1912, the Free Kaijan Union of Industrial was founded with sugar and coffee workers being key supporters. Despite these developments, fraud and corruption occurred in individual farms. The inciting incident was when a 17-year-old worker was subject to corporal punishment by a company boss. As a result on June 1st, 10,000 workers went on strike.
