'''Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla''' lived from May 8, 1753, to July 31, 1811.  He was a [[Catholic]] priest who is called the 'Father of Mexican Independence'.

Although a [[Catholic]] [[priest]], he disobeyed the many orders that the religious order had given him to desist on his war against the legitimate government. In September 1810 he conspired with a few "criollos" to overthrow the Spanish government in Mexico. His plans were discovered by the [[Spain|Spanish]] so he had to rush his plans, so he did not have enough time to prepare their revolution well. On [[September 16]], which is nowadays a holiday in [[Mexico]], he gathered the people of the village of [[Dolores]] at his church and ask them to start a revolt. He also gathered a mob to march towards [[Mexico City]].
