bullet::::- november 10. thirteen young men of modest means and humble families, led by pedro de la portilla, were ordered arrested by viceroy miguel josé de azanza in mexico city on grounds of fomenting a rebellion against spanish rule. the event was called the conspiracy of the machetes because the young men had only two guns and 50 machetes and sabers to carry out their plan to assault the palace and take the viceroy prisoner. the group was betrayed by one of their number. they were sentenced to prison. portilla lived long enough to see mexico gain its independence. the conspiracy is considered a precursor of the independence movement and illustrates the enmity between criollos and the ruling class of peninsulares."
