Morelos & Guerrero

José María Morelos y Pavón, was a catholic priest that was apparently of African or Indigenous descent (or both; some say he was of African descent on his great grand mother's side). His baptismal certificate was modified to say his parents were Spanish, for the ethnicity and color of one's skin determined the opportunities one was able to have in the New Spain (good thing that doesn't happen anymore, right?). It was with Morelos that the insurgent movement began to actually win battles not only relying on their numbers (as it had previously been under the command of former leader, priest Miguel Hidalgo) but because Morelos turned out to be a natural when it came to the art of war.

Morelos drafted a document titled Sentimientos de la Nación, where the objectives of the movement were numbered in 38 points—there it was declared that Northern America (since Spain had many colonies, it still wasn’t clear which were the limits of the colonial territory that they wanted to set free, so apparently “Northern America” was one of various generic names they’d use to describe their soon-to-be-independent-nation) was free from Spain and from any other nation; that the only faith that would be allowed would be Catholicism; the abolition of slavery and the distinction made by castas (ethnicity/race) were demanded aswell; and (among other things) expulsion of the Spanish was called for.

Although he was the greatest military mind the independence movement produced, Morelos was defeated by General Agustín de Iturbide, who captured his right hand man, priest Mariano Matamoros, who would later be executed.

Morelos would be captured, tried and executed only two years later, not before revealing important locations of the independence leaders. His death and his testimony would be a devastating blow for the independence movement, whose leaders would be killed, defeated (like Guadalupe Victoria) or accept the pardon offered by the Viceroy (like Andrés Quintana Roo and Leona Vicario)—only one of the great generals remained—a mulato named Vicente Guerrero.

Guerrero's parents were of African and Indigenous decent. During the latter part of the war of Mexican independence, he operated in the south of today’s Mexico, where the mountains and dense vegetation made it practically impossible for the royalists to get in to capture or kill him. The catch, however, was that he could not get out either.

The Viceroy had sent the aforementioned Agustín de Iturbide (he defeated Morelos) to put and end once and for all to the insurgency by defeating Guerrero. However, both Guerrero and Iturbide were now in a stalemate, so Iturbide decided to change his tactics. Instead of gunpowder (alone), he began to use quill and ink. Iturbide began to write letters to Guerrero to establish commonalities between both of them, and what would such a dissimilar couple of pen pals had in common? They formed an alliance under three objectives: independence from Spain, one sole religion (Catholicism) and equality regardless of castas. Their joint armies became know as the Army of the Three Guarantees, and to represent said guarantees, a banner with three colors is created.

Both leaders would finally make Mexico's independence possible, and both leaders would for a short time rule Mexico (Iturbide woud be crowned Emperor and later be deposed, and Guerrero would serve as Mexico’s second president for less than a year before being deposed) before being executed for political reasons. As president, Guerrero would finally abolish slavery.

This post was inspired by the fact that both Morelos and Guerrero were played by Mexican actor Dagoberto Gama in Morelos (2012) and Gritos de Muerte y libertad (2010).

La Independencia de México fue un movimiento que comenzó el 16 de septiembre de 1810, cuando el sacerdote Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla llamó a la lucha contra el dominio español en el famoso "Grito de Dolores". A lo largo de una década de lucha, líderes como José María Morelos y Agustín de Iturbide se unieron a la causa. Finalmente, el 27 de septiembre de 1821, se firmó el Plan de Iguala, asegurando la independencia de México de España. Esta lucha marcó el fin del dominio colonial y el inicio de la historia independiente de México.

#113 Taco de longaniza casera.

LICORES LOS PILARES, José María Morelos 179, Centro, Ahuacatlán, Puebla.

Las longanizas y chorizos son dos embutidos que en México son muy populares, y que cada región podría llegar a tener su propia versión o variante. Coinciden en ser de carne de cerdo sazonada con diversas especias y hierbas aromáticas, y en muchos casos -pero no obligatoriamente- coloreado y saborizado con adobos de chile secos que modifican la textura y sabor final.

Son embutidos en tripas de cerdo naturales, y en la mayoría de los casos expuestos a la intemperie para deshidratarlos ligeramente y aumentar su tiempo de vida. Esto depende de la región de origen y sus condiciones climáticas.

Esta versión es blanca, o sea sin sazonador de chile secos, y ligeramente expuesta al aire libre y sol lo que intensifica su sabor y textura. La cocción fue realizada en método doble (grasa y agua) hasta suavizar por completo y luego freírse suavemente antes de servir.

Estos tacos son servidos por Don Jorge García y esposa como complemento del negocio de licores artesanales que Jorge mantiene vivo por tercer generación.

It's so inclusive of the US to have José María Morelos y Pavón in the 50 dollar bill...

My brother's girlfriend had HPV, so he went to get himself the HPV vaccine. There is a fee to pay (nothing much, something like €87) but it's completely free if you're in one of the "at risk" groups.

"What does that mean," he asks. "It's free if you're gay," he's told. "Ah. Would I have to like, prove it, or...?" "Just put in a check mark here."

My brother is in no way, shape or form attracted to men, but also he's stingy as it gets. So now he's officially gay. Congrats bro.

Mexican Independence Day: Exploring the Cultural and Traditions

Mexican Independence Day marks the end of Spanish rule on September 27, 1821, a historic date shaped by the courage of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a well-respected Roman Catholic priest. His call to action on September 16, 1810, also known as the Grito de Dolores, kicked off the Mexican War of Independence. This day of remembrance isn't just a nod to history; it's an explosion of community spirit filled with parades, food festivals, and music echoing in every corner. With this backdrop commences a feast boasting traditional dishes like pozole, tamales, and chiles en nogada. Mexican Independence Day, celebrated on September 16, commemorates the country's independence from Spanish rule. The day is marked with festive parades, concerts, patriotic programs, and special events across Mexico. The President's reenactment of the Grito de Dolores triggers nationwide celebrations, with people chanting "¡Viva México!" to honor the heroes of the Mexican War of Independence.

Official Recognition and Proclamation of Mexican Independence

Following the pivotal Cry of Dolores in 1810, Mexico embarked on a tumultuous journey toward freedom from Spanish control. Revolutionary figures such as Miguel Hidalgo and José María Morelos played an instrumental role in steering the country towards independence. The struggle endured for over a decade until the culmination of the Mexican War of Independence on September 27, 1821, when Mexico was officially recognized as a sovereign nation, liberated from the grasp of Spanish colonial rule. This significant declaration marked the end of an era spanning nearly 300 years, signifying a decisive break from the dominion of Spain and initiating a new chapter in Mexican history. The proclamation brought about a profound sense of national identity and pride among the Mexican people, affirming their autonomy as a nation free from external influence. The official recognition of Mexican Independence laid the groundwork for a spirited celebration of national pride and heritage that resonates deeply with the people. The historical proclamation symbolized Mexico's triumph over colonial subjugation and set the stage for vibrant cultural traditions and festive commemorations that echo through generations.

Traditional Mexican Independence Day Activities and Celebrations

Mexican Independence Day is a time for communities to come together in celebration. Colorful parades take to the streets with musicians, dancers, and giant puppets delighting the crowds. Floats adorned with intricate designs and depictions of historical figures make their way through the city, offering a lively display of Mexican culture and heritage. The streets are alive with lively street festivals where vendors sell handmade crafts, clothing, and trinkets. Locals and tourists alike mingle, enjoying traditional music performances and dance presentations. It's a joyous occasion where the traditions of Mexico are on full display. The visual spectacle of vibrant decorations adorning homes, businesses, and public spaces further enhances the festive atmosphere. Streamers, flags, and lanterns in the Mexican flag colors - green, white, and red - create a sea of color reflecting the pride and unity felt by all those participating in the festivities. One of the most anticipated moments of the celebration is the reenactment of the Grito de Dolores. Commemorating the historic call-to-arms made by Father Hidalgo in 1810, this reenactment is often led by local officials or community leaders. The event culminates in a communal cry of "¡Viva México!" that rings out through the night, echoing the spirit of freedom and unity at the core of Mexican Independence Day. The rich cultural significance of these activities showcases the deep-rooted pride and patriotism Mexicans feel worldwide. It's an opportunity for people to rejoice in their shared history and affirm their commitment to preserving their unique traditions for future generations. With the vibrant celebrations and cultural expressions capturing the essence of Mexican Independence Day firmly etched in our minds, let's now focus on exploring another defining aspect of this spirited occasion—The Role of Music and Fireworks on Independence Day.

The Role of Music and Fireworks on Independence Day

Music: Envision the rich, vibrant melodies of Mariachi music filling the air—trumpets blaring, violins singing, and guitars strumming. Mariachis often serenade the crowds at public squares, parks, and other venues during the celebrations. Their traditional attire adds to the festive ambiance, creating an authentic Mexican experience that captures the essence of national pride. The music isn't just a backdrop; it's a vital part of the cultural celebration, inspiring a sense of unity and joy among the people. "The melodies evoke strong emotions and create an electric atmosphere that everyone can feel, uniting us in our love for Mexico," shared Gabriela, a long-time participant in Mexican Independence Day celebrations. Fireworks: As night falls, the sky erupts in dazzling colors as fireworks take center stage. The breathtaking display symbolizes the triumph of independence and is a powerful visual representation of national unity. Powerful bursts of light create a mesmerizing scene overhead, instilling a profound sense of admiration and patriotism among onlookers. Families gather under the multi-hued skies, where children's faces light up with wonder, embodying the nation's hope for a bright future. Much like the explosive proclamation of independence centuries ago, these fireworks mark a momentous occasion that brings people together in remembrance and celebration. Each year in cities across Mexico, such as Mexico City's Zócalo, thousands witness this awe-inspiring display, forming a sea of faces all looking upward at the symphony of color above. The thunderous booms and radiant displays remind everyone of their heritage and inspire a deep-seated pride that transcends generations. As we behold the vibrant tapestry that magnifies Mexican Independence Day's festivity and cultural roots, let's journey deeper into unraveling its historical impact and continued cultural resonance.

Unveiling the Historical Impact and Cultural Significance

The cry for independence, known as "El Grito," initiated a long and challenging struggle against Spanish colonial rule. This famed call to arms by Roman Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the Cry of Dolores, rang out on September 16, 1810, igniting the flame of liberty. It wasn't just a call for freedom from Spanish control but an emotional plea to secure loyalty to religion and sovereignty. This pivotal event marked the onset of the Mexican War of Independence, a period fraught with sacrifices and heroism that ultimately led to Mexico's autonomy. Resilience and Determination: The historic significance of Mexican Independence Day lies in acknowledging the unyielding determination and resilience of the Mexican people. They stood up against oppression and fought for their right to self-governance, embodying a spirit that has continued to shape Mexico's national identity. The Role of Iconic Figures The brave deeds of iconic figures such as Miguel Hidalgo, Ignacio Allende, and Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez are etched in the annals of Mexican history. Their unwavering commitment to freedom laid the groundwork for a burgeoning sense of unity and patriotism among the people. These heroes became symbols of hope and inspiration for generations to come, and celebrating their indomitable spirit on Mexican Independence Day symbolizes honoring their indelible legacy. Cultural Heritage: Mexico's rich cultural heritage is intricately interwoven with the events surrounding its independence. The country pays homage to its historical roots while reinforcing national pride through vibrant celebrations, stirring music, traditional dances, and spirited parades. Independence Day is an opportunity for Mexicans worldwide to come together in commemoration, reflecting on their shared history and fortifying bonds that transcend geographical boundaries. Independence Day holds profound cultural significance—a testament to the enduring strength and unity of the Mexican people. The celebrations foster a sense of community and solidarity, uniting individuals in a collective expression of reverence for their heritage. It's a time for communities across Mexico to gather, celebrate their shared history, and look toward a future shaped by the principles of freedom and independence.

Honoring the Heroes of the Mexican Independence Movement

The bravery and resilience displayed by the key figures in the Mexican Independence movement serve as a timeless reminder of the power of conviction and collective action in driving historical change. It is essential to recognize and appreciate the contributions of individuals such as Miguel Hidalgo, José María Morelos, and Ignacio Allende, who led the charge for freedom from colonial rule. Their unwavering commitment to justice and liberty is a testament to the enduring spirit of resistance against oppression. Miguel Hidalgo, a visionary leader and prominent figure in Mexican history, was at the forefront of instigating the call for independence. His impassioned "Grito de Dolores" on September 16, 1810, ignited a movement that would ultimately lead to Mexico breaking free from Spanish dominion. This historic proclamation rallied people from all walks of life to join forces in pursuit of sovereignty and self-governance. José María Morelos, an influential military strategist and revolutionary, played a pivotal role in advancing the cause of Mexican independence. Ignacio Allende, revered for his unwavering dedication to the independence movement, cemented his place as an instrumental figure through his steadfast commitment to challenging colonial rule. His strategic insight and indomitable resolve bolstered the resilience of those fighting for freedom and autonomy. Just as these leaders played a distinct and significant role in shaping Mexico's destiny, it is imperative to acknowledge their profound impact and enduring legacy. The annual reenactment of the Grito de Dolores is a poignant tribute to these courageous individuals, underscoring their pivotal contributions in shaping Mexico's history. By recognizing and commemorating these heroes, Mexican Independence Day not only celebrates a historic achievement but also serves as a powerful testament to the enduring spirit of unity, resilience, and patriotism that continues to define the Mexican nation.
