Route+of+Independence,+Prezi

Ms. Maruca Morales History 6th Grade **Introduction ** Mexican Independence Day celebrates the events and people that eventually resulted in independence from Spain, the country that had control over the territory of New Spain, as it was also known then. Fueled by three centuries of oppression and sparked by a call to revolution by the respected Catholic priest Hidalgo, the Mexican Revolution erupted in the village of Dolores, in the state of Guanajuato. The revolution pitted the poor indigenous Indians and mixed Mestizo groups against the privileged classes of Spanish descent, and pushed them into a violent and bloody battle for freedom from Spain.
