Plan de Iguala, February 24, 1821
This declaration ended the Mexican War of Independence against Spain, which had begun on September 16, 1810. The war was ignited by the Spanish mistreatment of the indigenous, the mestizos (people of mixed blood), and the criollos (the white children of Spaniards born in the New World). The document ensured the equal rights of Mexican people regardless of birthplace or race, and established the eminence of the Roman Catholic Church. Soon after Mexican independence, Anglo-American settlers moved to Mexican territories seeking opportunities for commerce with Spanish-speaking Mexicans, which included parts of today’s southwest: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas.
