Q

What impact did Miguel Hidalgo have

A

He was sad and angry about the poverty he saw and the rules that España imposed on the people in New España. As a result, he encouraged the people to revolt against España. Father Hidalgo marched across México encouraging farmers and workers to join the revolution. He was able to gain a large army, and the fight against España soon began. In 1811, the Spaniards executed Father Hidalgo, but the movement he started continued until México won its independence at last in 1821. Today, Father Miguel Hidalgo is considered the father of Mexican independence.
