Storyboard Szöveg

  • In the early hours of September 16, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a priest in the small town of Dolores, Guantanamo, rang the church bell to gather the townspeople. He called for the people of Mexico to rise up against the Spanish crown, thus initiating Mexico’s War of Independence. This event, known as the Grito de Dolores (Cry of Dolores) or El Grito de la Independencia (Cry of Independence), is commemorated every year in town squares across Mexico. The country did not achieve independence until 1821. What caused the revolt?
  • We all agree
  • Lets rise up against Spain
  • General groupings of “castes” had their own set of privileges or restrictions. The privileged were the Peninsular Spaniards. Discontent steadily grew, especially among the Criollo's, who were always treated as second-class subjects of the Spanish crown. It is no surprise then, that Criollo's were the spark that ignited the independence movement and the fight for human rights. Miguel Hidalgo formally denounced the observance of the caste system in 1810, and people of all races were able to see that putting up a fight for their independence was worth it.
  • Putting up a fight for Independence is worth it
  • I formally denounce the observance of the caste system
  • We demand a fair price for them
  • The vast Spanish New World Empire produced many goods, including coffee, cacao, textiles, wine, minerals, and more. But, the Vice royalties were only allowed to trade with Spain, and at rates advantageous for Spanish merchants. Local merchants in New Spain took to selling their goods illegally to British and American traders. Spain was eventually forced to loosen some trade restrictions, but the move was too little too late as those who produced these goods demanded a fair price for them.
  • We are now loosening some trade restrictions
