Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla is today remembered as the Father of his Country, the great hero of Mexico's War for Independence. His position has become cemented in lore, and there are any number of hagiographic biographies out there with him as their subject. The truth about Hidalgo is a little more complex.
There, he made a speech known as the Grito de Dolores (Cry of Dolores), where he called for a rebellion so that Mexicans, rather than Spaniards, could govern Mexico. Although Mexico did not officially become independent from Spain until 1821, Mexicans celebrate September 16 as Independence Day because this is the day that the movement towards independence began. Every year, late on September 15, Mexico's president rings a bell and repeats the Grito de Dolores.
