 A soldier priest played . large part in the liberation of Mexico from spanish rule. This priest. Manuel Hidalgo. gathered g little band in the town of Dolores in 1910 and. atte, spending his struggle for independence by celebrating mass, he led them forth to drive tho Spaniards from the country. This poorly armed and badly organised group grew at each mile in numbers and fervor and finally. on Monte de las Cruces. outside Mexico City. it overwhelmed tho Spanish army by sheer weight os numbers and the way to freedom was open. But Hidalgo's religious traits betrayed him, for instead of pushing on and completely shattering the beaten Spaniards. h, stopped. gathered his band about hjn and led in prayer. This hesitation was fatal for the Spaniards ree!ganized and finally routed his army Hidalgo was cap- tured and executed, Dr. i;is spirit lived on and others took up the struggle. eventually winning Mexican independence. Hidalgo "a shown on many Mexican postage stamps. while one issued in 1910 to celebrate the centenary of independence de. picts the prayer on Monte de las Cruces.
