Farms had to sell machinery. Racism was high in the 1920s, with anti-Mexican sentiment wanting a "pure" America, but Mexican populations continued to grow, especially among railroad workers traveling from Texas to Chicago and living in Mexican neighborhoods called barrios.

Mexican war of independence complete
Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla was a Catholic priest who declared war against the French colonists in 1811 but was later captured and executed, with his body hung in display.

Latin america and mexico after independence
After gaining independence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the nations and regions of Latin America experienced both political and economic changes and continuities. Politically, new nations like Bolivia and Peru emerged from Gran Colombia and the United Provinces of Central America separated, while military leaders continued to rise to power as caudillos and often became dictators. Economically, export-focused plantation and estate agriculture remained the base of Latin American economies and dependency on Western markets. However, mining, oil, and infrastructure industries began developing. The Great Depression and World Wars further disrupted Latin American economies and led to more import substitution industrialization as well as increased nationalism, socialism, and distrust of the West.
Hidalgo and Bolivar
Miguel Hidalgo was a highly educated Creole priest in Mexico who wanted independence from Spain. In 1810 he gave a famous speech calling on indigenous and mestizo people to take up arms against the Spanish. He led a large rebel army but was eventually captured and executed. Simon Bolivar was a Creole military officer from Venezuela who wanted to liberate South America from Spanish rule. Between 1808-1824 he led independence movements that liberated Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia from Spain. Though he wanted to unite these countries, political infighting prevented the unity of "Gran Colombia" and he died of tuberculosis in 1830.
