The fight between the plebeians & patricians
Just last week, on Monday, the fight in between the plebeians and patricians stopped. The plebeians were refusing to join the military and were starting riots. The patricians finally gave up and created a set of laws, called the Laws of the Twelve Tables. But the plebeians never became as equal as the patricians. All of the anger from the plebeians started because they weren't treated fair. Most patricians bought farm land, making the farmers homeless and jobless. The patricians used slaves and didn't let other people work at the farm, therefore, making them jobless. The plebeians also didn't trust the senate since it was made up of patricians. This made the plebeians form their own group of interests. Eventually, the plebeians were getting too angry, which caused all of this catastrophe.
