Why did some Sicilian peasants become disappointed with Giuseppe Garibaldi’s rule?

Although Sicilian peasants initially welcomed Giuseppe Garibaldi and his Expedition of the Thousand as liberators from Bourbon rule, they quickly became disillusioned with his administration.1

The primary cause of this disappointment was Garibaldi’s reluctance to order the breakup of secular, landed estates. While the peasants had supported the revolution in hopes of achieving significant social and economic change—specifically regarding land ownership—Garibaldi’s provisional government did not pursue the radical redistribution of land they desired. This failure to address the underlying agrarian grievances led to a sense of betrayal among the rural population, despite their earlier participation in the insurrection against the Bourbon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.12
