Moros of Sulu Under Uncle Sam Fight and Feudal Rule
The Moros of the Sulu archipelago are described as fierce jihadists under Panglima Hassen facing General Wood’s campaigns on Jolo. The Bates treaty of 1900 granted US sovereignty and sultanate protection, while the sultan’s realm imposes slavery, four wives, and juramentado ritual killings. The people, including 120,000 subjects and 20,000 fighters, live under a feudal system of dattos and the sultan on Jolo.
