1852 CE to 1863 CE
The Ottoman-imposed majlis system fails to keep order when the peasants of Kasrawan, overburdened by heavy taxes, rebel against the feudal practices that prevail in Mount Lebanon.
In 1858 Tanyus Shahin, a Maronite peasant leader, demands that the feudal class abolish its privileges.
When this demand was refused, the poor peasants revolt against the sheikhs of Mount Lebanon, pillaging the sheikhs' land and burning their homes.
