Summary/Abstract: Stanje srpske raje pred bosanski ustanak bilo je očajno. Graničarske austrijske oblasti ispitivale su bosanske begunce, prebegle na hrvatsko zemljište, o uzrocima, koji nagnaše narod na ustanak, pa prema iskazu tih begunaca može se stvoriti slika bednog života rajinog u Bosni.The Herzegovina uprising (Serbian Cyrillic: Херцеговачки устанак) was an uprising led by ethnic Serbs against the Ottoman Empire, firstly and predominantly in Herzegovina (hence its name), from where it spread into Bosnia and Raška. It broke out in the summer of 1875, and lasted in some regions up to the beginning of 1878. It was followed by the Bulgarian Uprising of 1876, and coincided with Serbian-Turkish wars (1876-1878), all of those events being part of the Great Eastern Crisis (1875-1878). The uprising was precipitated by the harsh treatment under the beys and aghas of the Ottoman province (vilayet) of Bosnia — the reforms announced by the Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecid I, involving new rights for Christian subjects, a new basis for army conscription, and an end to the much-hated system of tax-farming, were either resisted or ignored by the powerful Bosnian landowners. They frequently resorted to more repressive measures against their Christian subjects. The tax burden on Christian peasants constantly increased. (WIKIPEDIA)
