Hidalgo's Grito de Dolores
September 16, 1810
Before dawn in the Bajio, a rural priest rang his church bell and shouted for his parishioners to rise against the gachupines. Miguel Hidalgo's ragged army of Indians and mestizos swelled to eighty thousand and nearly took Mexico City. He was shot within a year; the war he lit ran for eleven.
