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 [[France|French]] 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 his revolution well. On [[September 16]], which is nowadays a holiday in [[Mexico]], he gathered the people of his village of [[Dolores]] at his church and told them to start a revolt and start killing the Spanish. He also gathered a mob to march towards [[Mexico City]].
