The document discusses Mexican independence from Spain in the early 19th century. Indigenous, Black, and mixed-race Mexicans were oppressed by Spanish colonizers. Vicente Guerrero led the independence movement using "The Plan of Iguala" to make all Mexicans equal and free. Miguel Hidalgo and lower class Mexicans rebelled against Spanish rule after Hidalgo's "Grito de Dolores" speech calling for independence, though he was later captured and killed after one year of fighting.
