The Moros have a 400-year history of resisting foreign rule. The ethnic Moro population of the southern Philippines resisted both Spanish and United States colonization. The Moro areas of Western Mindanao have been the most rebellious areas in the Philippines along with Samar Island and Bicol Region. Following the American occupation of the Northern Philippines during 1899, Spanish forces in the Southern Philippines were abolished, and they retreated to the garrisons at Zamboanga and Jolo.

American forces took control over the Spanish government in Jolo on May 18, 1899, and at Zamboanga in December 1899. The Moros resisted the new American colonizers as they had resisted the Spanish. The Spanish, American, and Philippine governments have all been fought against by the Muslims of Sulu and Mindanao. Abdul Hamid wrote the letter, which was sent to Mecca where two Sulu chiefs brought it home to Sulu. After due consideration of these facts, the Sultan, as Caliph caused a message to be sent to the Mohammedans of the Philippine Islands forbidding them to enter into any hostilities against the Americans, inasmuch as no interference with their religion would be allowed under American rule. As the Moros have never asked more than that, it is not surprising, that they refused all overtures made, by Aguinaldo’s agents, at the time of the Filipino insurrection. After the American government informed the Moros that they would continue the old protectorate relationship that they had with Spain, the Moro Sulu Sultan rejected this and demanded that a new treaty be negotiated.

Not all of Davis’ subordinates were as diplomatic as Pershing. Many veterans of the Indian Wars took the “only good Indian is a dead Indian” mentality with them to the Philippines, and “civilize ’em with a Krag” became a similar catchphrase. Three ambushes of American troops by Moros, one of which involved Juramentados, occurred to the south of Lake Lanao, outside of Manabilang’s sphere of influence. Not compliant, a punitive expedition under Col. Frank Baldwin set out to settle matters with the south-shore Moros. The expeditionary force built at Camp Vickers one mile south of Pandapatan, and Davis assigned Pershing to Baldwin’s command as an intelligence officer and as director of Moro affairs.

As director, ‘Black Jack’ Pershing had a veto over Baldwin’s movements, which was an unstable arrangement. On July 4, 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt issued a proclamation declaring an end to the Philippine Insurrection and a cessation of hostilities in the Philippines “except in the country inhabited by the Moro tribes, to which this proclamation does not apply. While Pershing was working to the south of Lake Lanao, Major Robert Lee Bullard was working to the north, building a road from Iligan to Marawi. Although never officially declared one, like Pershing, he was regarded as a Datu by the Moros.
