Miguel Hidalgo Y Costilla, Mexico

Miguel Hidalgo Y Costilla  (1753– 1811)

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the minister known as the "father of Mexican freedom," was conceived on May 8, 1753, at his dad's hacienda close Guanajuato, Mexico. He was taught in Valladolid (exhibit Morelia), Mexico, and was appointed a cleric in 1779. Until 1809 he sought after his clerical capacities and endeavored to present different types of industry among his parishioners at Dolores. After Napoleon's attack of Spain in 1808, the states, unwilling to acknowledge a French ruler, boisterously announced Ferdinand VII as lord. The social orders they shaped maintained reliability to Spain, yet experts speculated they were intended to plan for the freedom of Mexico. Hidalgo and a few of his companions occupied with arrangements which the experts considered treasonable.

Cautioned by the capture of a companion, Hidalgo accumulated a few hundred of his parishioners, and on September 16, 1810, they grabbed the jail at Dolores. This activity started the Mexican War of Independence. At first Hidalgo met with some achievement, however the same number of his supporters betrayed, he lost heart and withdrew. His powers were conclusively crushed at Aculo on November 7, 1810, and at the extension of Calderón on Río Santiago on January 17, 1811. Hidalgo was later caught and, in the wake of being corrupted from the ministry, was shot as a revolutionary on July 31 or August 1, 1811.

The people of Mexico believed that he is the hero, leader, father of nation, first president  of Mexico. He is also a one of the hero of national heroes of Mexico.
