Mexican Independance

I found a great website that explains the causes of the Mexican Revolution but it is a bit biased. The author believes that Hidalgo was not a good leader and he just caused more suffering and bloodshed. The author believes that Hidalgo only got the Indians to fight for him and only caused more losses for Mexico. Heres the link: http://k12west.mrdonn.org/ColonialMexico.html#INTRO. The author said that the revolts caused by earlier men resulted in the unification of the middle class who banded together to fight against the Spaniards. So common hatred brought them together. From some of the information one can see of the ideals of the Enlightenment in the Mexican Revolution. Ideas that supported increasing ones social status contributed a lot to evolution The amount of informaton is enormous but becareful thearticle is based.
