Ms. Maruca Morales 6th Grade History
 * Timeline of the Independence **

Introduction In the year 1500, Spain conquered [|Mexico] and named it **New Spain**. Life was hard under Spanish rule and many of the native Mexicans (**Mayas** and **Aztecs**) were forced into **slavery**. More than 300 years later, on September 16, 1810, a priest named **Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla** started a revolt against the Spanish. The Spanish were finally defeated in 1821 and now Mexican Independence is [|**celebrated every year**] to remember the beginning of the struggle for freedom.
