Uno de los ideólogos de la época de la Independencia fue Fray Servando Teresa de Mier quien a lo largo de su vida, y gracias a su manera de pensar, enfrentó varios momentos difíciles. Sin embargo, y a pesar de los argumentos en su contra, siempre mantuvo sus ideales y sus ganas de convertir a la Nueva España en un país libre e independiente. Es por esta razón que hoy en día es considerado un personaje importante dentro de la historia de México. A continuación, analizaremos algunos hechos relevantes de su vida que lograron mover y marcar dicha historia de nuestro país.
Fray Servando Teresa de Mier nació en Monterrey, Nuevo León, en 1765. Su familia pertenecía al grupo criollo. Es reconocido y recordado en la historia de nuestro país gracias a que luchó por la causa independentista. Durante el año 1780, fue obligado por su familia, que estaban afincados en la religión, a ingresar en el convento de los dominicos y más tarde, en el colegio de Porta Celi, dónde estudió filosofía y teología.
Después de algún tiempo, se hizo famoso como predicador, especialmente cuando pronunció una “oración fúnebre” por Hernán Cortés así como cuando pronunció un célebre sermón en el que rechazaba las tradiciones sobre las apariciones de la Virgen de Guadalupe, justo el mismo día de su celebración, en 1794.
Este sermón causó gran escándalo dentro de los devotos de la Virgen de Guadalupe, pues obviamente, estuvieron inconformes con los pensamientos de Fray Servando. Después de revelar sus ideas, el arzobispo lo encerró en una celda dentro del convento de Santo Domingo y lo condenó a diez años de reclusión en España.
Tras sufrir el abandono de sus familiares tuvo que aceptar la promulgación de un mandato de condena pública que se leyó en toda la Nuev...

...deas y pensamientos sobre la Independencia, hoy en día lo recordamos como un héroe ya que aún después de haber sufrido dolorosas consecuencias por mantener sus pensamientos, nunca se rindió y las mantuvo hasta el día de su muerte. Esto creó una gran influencia en la gente y en los movimientos de Independencia.
Después de analizar su biografía, podemos decir que Fray Servando fue un hombre que se preocupaba por su pueblo y una persona a quien realmente le importaba que el lugar en donde vivía fuera un país sin distinciones de razas, un país justo, un país independiente. Debemos recordar a este héroe de la historia como una persona capaz de cambiar y mover pensamientos, pero sobretodo, como una persona firme y determinante, como alguien a quien no le importó sufrir y no le importaron las barreras dentro de su camino con tal de hacer justicia y crear un país mejor.
...ligious life of the town of San Miguel and construction of its main temple which from 1872 he was raised to parish. But like everyone, this temple of the Holy Trinity underwent several transformations, for example: in the first decades of the 19th century was built the current altar; and from 1881 to 1897 he received major improvements, like the composure of the entire building, the purchase of pictures, furniture and several sacred ornaments as well as the construction of the chapels of the Tabernacle and Nuestra Señora de la Soledad and the arches of the entrance to the former chapel of the Entombment of Christ and the old sacristy; the most recent improvement was made in the last years of the 20th century, and which involved the National Institute of anthropology and history, the Government of the State and the father Carlos Cabrero, responsible for the parish.

The study of religion is often a rigorous process because the central tenets of the subject: image, ritual, and myth are often copious in their complexity. For example, consider the multiple meanings that are inherent in the image of a crucifix. Some Christians might view it as an image of suffering, whilst others would reject that notion and instead perceive it to be one of love. These differences may seem inconsequential at first, but they can overtime shape the beliefs of an individual and by extension a community. To understand this dynamic better one only has to analyze the Christo Aparecido (Christ Appeared), an authentic Mexican crucifix with a fascinating history from the colonial era to the present. This history is made known by the text, Biography of a Mexican Crucifix: Lived Religion and Local Faith from the Conquest to the Present by Jennifer Hughes, from which I contend that over the life of the Christo Aparecido there continues to be an understanding among devotees that this crucifix is sacred because it displays animus while being a vestige for the sacred to occupy. To support my position I will attempt to relate the moments where the Christo Aparecido is said to show signs of life, in particular his stay in Mexico City during the colonial era and his role in more modern times with rival groups clashing over its efficacy in the village of Totolapan.
Bartolomé de Las Casas was born in 1484 AD in Seville and died in 1566 in Madrid. In the ending of the 15th century and the beginning of 16th, he came to America and become a “protector of Indian”. In 1542, most based on his effort, Spain has passed the New Law, which prohibit slaving Indians (Foner, p. 7). In 1552, he published the book A Short Account of the Destruction of The Indies.
Mexico declared its independence from Spain in Sept, 16, 1810, and for the next 100 years what followed was a period of political instability of rule under monarchies, federal republics and dictatorships. Finally in 1910, a revolt on the autocracy under Porfirio Diaz led to the start of the M...

During the 1800s there were many revolutions that caused fighting and disagreement in Europe and Latin America. Many brave countries stood up to the mother country to fight the vicious battle for independence. One of the many countries fighting for independence was Haiti. Haiti was trying to get independence from France. In 1804 Saint Domingue declared their independence and named the new nation. Another country fighting for the battle of independence was Mexico. Mexico fought hard with Spain to gain their independence. There was a dispute between the mexicans because some did not want to fight against Spain and just stay a part of their nation and government. Miguel Hidalgo made the first public call for Mexican Independence in 1821. In document 5 there is a painting and all the people of Mexico are taking part in the movement for independence no matter what color they are. The people are taking pride in their country and beliefs by holding up signs and following Father Miguel Hidalgo.

Have you ever thought of something you're so curious about? Something that your curiosity runs completely insane because you need the full information or a full story about what really happened or how did it happen? Well I did, when a research paper was assigned about Spanish Culture I was only Interested into one topic and that’s the History or background oh how the Mexican People receive their Independence. Like how America had it’s own story of its independence. Independence is about Freedom, the freedom to do what you want or to be who you are. Well like any other culture independence was very important to the Spanish people, I believe its a celebration way bigger than an event like Cinco De Mayo. I believe it’s one of the most important events for the Spanish people, and here’s why!
