Bonifacio's action after the Tenejeros convention have been called counter-revolutionary, the charge of treason justified, and his elimination even necessary to ensure unity of the Filipino revolutionaries. Bonifacio's declaration of authority in opposition of Emilio Aguinaldo posed a danger to the revolution, because a split in the rebel forces would result in almost certain defeat to their united and well-armed Spanish foe. Bonifacio was neither a danger to the revolution in general for he still planned to fight the Spaniards, nor to the revolution in Cavite since he was leaving; but Bonifacio was definitely a threat to the Cavite leaders who wanted control of the revolution, so he was eliminated.
