Miguel Hildalgo

All About Him

Miguel Hildalgo
how it all started As elsewhere in L. America, Napoleon’s actions in Spain affected the people of Mexico. Some became royalists, while others became rebels. Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest in the town of Dolores, became a rebel.
On September 16, 1810... he rang his church’s bells &shouted famous Cry of Dolores: “Long live Our Lady of Guadalupe! Death to bad govt! Death to Spaniards!”An army of N. Americans & mestizos soon rallied around Hidalgo & Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mexico’s important Catholic symbol.
On September 28... they conquered city of Guanajuato
On October 17... city of Valladolid surrendered without a fight. They continued east.
Oct. 30 defeated royalists on the outskirts of Mexico City. They moved on towards Guadalajara where their victories ended. Royal army commanded by General Felix Calleja destroyed them. Hidalgo retreated to the north.
May 21, 1811 Hidalgo was captured. He was tried by the Spanish Inquisition and found guilty of treason and put to death. The movement Hidalgo started continued. For next decade, Mexicans fought for independence.
September 28, 1821 Mexico won its independence. Today, when Mexicans celebrate Independence Day, they celebrate day Hidalgo shouted in Dolores.
