On September 16, 1810, Miguel Hidalgoy Costilla, a parish priest from the town of Dolores,
Issued a call to rebellion. In response, rebel leader Vicente Guerrero and defected royalist
General Agustín de Itúrbide collaborated to gain Mexico’s Independence from Spain in 1821.
Together they drafted a Mexican constitution. However, in 1822, Itúrbide declared himself
emperor of the country. A year later, Antonio López de Santa Anna overthrew Itúrbide and
drew up a new constitution that established a federal Mexican republic composed of 19 states
and four territories.
