1864 CE to 1875 CE

One group of Maya, led by Marcos Canul, attacks a mahogany camp on the Bravo River in 1866, demanding ransom for their prisoners and rent for their land.

A detachment of British troops sent to San Pedro is defeated by the Maya later this year.

Early in 1867, more than three hundred British troops march into the Yalbac Hills and destroy the Mayan villages, provision stores, and granaries in an attempt to drive them out of the district.

The Maya return, however, and in April 1870, Canul and his men march into Corozal and occupy the town.
