The Mexican War of Independence, also known as the Revolution of 1810, marked a significant turning point in Mexico's history. It was ignited by Miguel Hidalgo's powerful call to revolt, famously known as "The Cry of Dolores, " on September 16th, 1810. This mural by Juan O Gorman captures the essence of that momentous event. Edward Grant's flag from c. 1936 symbolizes the struggles and sacrifices made during this war. The lithographs depicting Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla and Jose Maria Morelos showcase two key figures who played pivotal roles in leading the revolution against Spanish rule. Major General John E. 's Congressional Presentation Sword and Scabbard serve as a reminder of the bravery displayed by those who fought for independence. These artifacts provide a tangible connection to this historic period. Through stereographs like these, we catch glimpses of United States architecture from the mid-19th century - a time when Mexico was still fighting for its freedom. The Parroquia Cathedral in Dolores Hidalgo stands tall today as a testament to Mexico's enduring spirit. In 1821, Agustin de Iturbide emerged as an influential figure during negotiations for independence. He became Emperor of Mexico but his reign was short-lived due to political instability. Jose Maria Morelos y Pavon is another revered name associated with Mexican independence. A priest turned revolutionary leader, he fought tirelessly alongside Hidalgo and others to secure liberty for their people. Jose Clemente Orozco's mural "Fight for Liberty" depicts Father Hidalgo at the forefront of battle - an embodiment of courage and determination that defined this era. Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla remains an iconic figure in Mexican history; his legacy lives on through his unwavering commitment to freedom and justice. Finally, this image portrays Mexico contemplating its future after gaining independence in 1821 - a nation ready to forge its own path and shape its destiny.
