[5] In 1910, he supported the Plan de San Luis Potosí written by Madero, which called upon the Mexican people to revolt against the government of General Porfirio Díaz.

[2] His unit consisted of 150 men and he participated in several clashes, including in La Noria, Venadillo, Rosario, the gorge of El Limón and Mazatlán.

In March 1913, Victoriano Huerta ordered the capture of the Sinaloa governor, Felipe Riveros.

When Carrasco learned of Riveros's arrest, he raised a small combat unit of 50 men[5] and began disrupting guerrilla communications and federal troop movements on trains.

[2] Alerted by friends in Mazatlan to Huerta's plans of apprehending him, he left home and fought battles in La Bola and El Potrero Chico with Captain Meza and Juan Cañedo.

In 1919, he asked for permission from the Secretary of War to leave the army and accept the nomination of governor of Sinaloa, having been persuaded by his friends to do so.

[3] The fall of President Venustiano Carranza, whom Carrasco supported, forced him to abandon his political plans.

On November 8, 1922, Carrasco confronted enemy forces in Guamuchilito, while he was on his way to Durango to join General Francisco Murguía.

He lacked, however, like the vast majority of rural people, a sense of anticipation, so he didn't have the career that he aspired to, which, given his qualities, he deserved.

A strong believer in justice and loyalty, Carrasco let his units execute any compatriot who killed a fellow-soldier.
