jan 1, 1813 - Father Morelos decalres Mexican Independence

Description:

Father José María Morelos was not a Creole at all, but a mestizo, and a more able leader in every way. His army was well organized and his main goals were clear: an end to slavery, to the caste system, and to the tribute paid by indigenous people. Morelos prohibited the use of caste classifications. All born in Mexico were simply “Americanos.” In 1813, he declared outright independence.
