Sources and statements for evaluation section:

Katz, LnTofPV, pg. 115 "It was a fatal mistake", Military leaders "opposed to the treaty"

Benjamin, La Revolucion,
 * pg. 33, "The Magonistas, as well as many Maderistas, were critical of the negotiated settlement of the rebellion, the ToCJ"
 * pg. 51, "political revolution was compromised from the beginning by the ToCJ"
 * pg. 53, Madero as the author of ""the bitter betrayal"" of the ToCJ"
 * pg. 145, quoting Sanchez Azcona "This led to his greatest mistake,..., the ToCJ which preserved in large part the ancient regime and thus undermined the power and authority of the new revolutionary regime"

Henderson, In the absence, pg. 24, sez that "Traditional revolutionary historiography" has identified ToCJ as Madero's "first huge mistake". Goes on to explain however how this interpretation is based on the faulty premise that Madero actually wanted to radically change Mexico.

Probably should include the "Unleashed a tiger" quote though it isn't specific to the treaty but to all of Madero's actions.

On US response

Adams. "Measured".
