" The First Step"
Miguel Hidalgo, Allende, Aldama, and josefa Ortiz de Dominguez begin the idea of the revolution. They start discussing about their freedom and their independence secretly, they do this by creating a reading club. They want to become independent so that they get more money and become more powerful or at least equal to the peninsulas. We also saw this in the move of the Mexican revolution that we saw in class. http://www.tamu.edu/faculty/ccbn/dewitt/mexicanrev.htm -
The Betrayal
The Corregidor of Queretaro told the Peninsulares the plan of the Criollos witch he refused to join. This made the peninsulares mad and they went looking for those named people. This caused Allende to go look for Hidalgo to warn him about what was happening. This made the people that were gathering the guns get arrested. http://www.mexonline.com/mexican-independence.htm -
