Savage Internal Warfare In 1048 the Cossacks rose against the Polish-Ukrainian lords who sought to Impose upon them the Roman Catholic Cath-olic faith in lieu of their own Greek Catholic religion. The Cossacks fought with the utmost brutality, overcoming the Poles and torturing their leaders to death. Their Roman Catholic priests were hanged before the altars with a butchered hog on one side and a Jew on the other. When, after more than a year, this religious rebellion was put down, the Cossack leaders were punished with equal brutality.
