Rizal wanted to contribute to the Philippines' economic growth by protecting Filipino land ownership and livelihoods, as the Spanish friars had taken control of most agricultural land. Politically, the Spanish government in the Philippines was corrupt and imposed heavy taxes. Rizal sought to educate Filipino youth about their history to help free the country from Spanish rule. He believed the dominant Catholic religion was dividing the nation and was a tool used by the Spanish to control Filipinos.
