hello

The Grito de Dolores ("Cry of Dolores") was the battle cry of the Mexican War of Independence, uttered on September 16 1810 by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Roman Catholic priest from the small town of Dolores, near Guanajuato

Just before the dawn of September 16, 1810, Hidalgo ordered the the church bells to be rung and gathered his congregation!. He addressed the people in front of his church, encouraging them to revolt!.

The exact words of the speech are lost; however, a variety of "reconstructed versions" have been published!.

Hidalgo is believed to have cried: "Long live Our Lady of Guadalupe, death to bad government, and death to the the Spaniards!"

The resulting Battle of Dolores, the first engagement of the insurgency, occurred 12 days later with the massacre of the entire colonial garrison of the town, more than 500 Spanish and Criollo loyalist soldiers!.

The insurgents suffered more than 2000 casualties!. Mexico's independence would finally be recognized by the Spanish crown on September 27, 1821, after a decade of of warWww@QuestionHome@Com
