Dobri Daskalov as ethnic Macedonian
[edit]User:Macodudewasalreadytaken?, Dobri Daskalov was born and died at the time of underdeveloped and rarely manifested Macedonian nationalism. Before the Balkan Wars, Macedonists were only a handful of intellectuals, and mainly outside the region of Macedonia.[1] He himself received his education in Bulgarian schools whose graduates were the creators and activists of the IMRO[2] and was a member of organizations which members were mostly or only Bulgarians. Such is IMRO, according to which first statute only Bulgarians could be its members.[3] This is also the case with the People's Federal Party, according to which statute Bulgarians were members of its Bulgarian section.[4] He had any manifestations of Macedonian nationalism in an ethnic aspect during his lifetime.

Most of IMRO's founders and principal organizers were graduates of the Bulgarian Exarchate schools in Macedonia, who had become teachers and inspectors in the same system that had educated them. Frustrated with the pace of change, they organized and networked to develop their movement throughout the Bulgarian school system that employed them. The Exarchate schools were an ideal forum in which to propagate their cause, and the leading members were able to circulate to different posts, to spread the word, and to build up supplies and stores for the anticipated uprising. As it became more powerful, IMRO was able to impress upon the Exarchate its wishes for teacher and inspector appointments in Macedonia."

Since they sought autonomy only for those areas inhabited by Bulgarians, they denied other nationalities membership in IMRO. According to Article 3 of the statutes, "any Bulgarian could become a member".

Moreover, the political and parliamentary representation of the leftist revolutionary activists only ‘revived’ their Bulgarian national identification as Sandanski’s fraction advocated the particular interests of the ‘Bulgarian nationality’ in the Empire.
