Mexicans do not and have not worshipped Mary.
Spaniards do not and have not worshipped Mary.
Catholics do not and have not worshipped Mary.
Spain also has had Our Lady of Guadalupe in Extremadura since the 14th century, a dark-skinned madonna of the Virgin Mary so its not like the Spaniards had any quarrel with a darker skinned Marian flag, as Spanish-born Europeans pay respect to her no matter her skin color.
Mary is not worshipped, she is honored above all women.

Two things saying your loyal to the king is an age old move to go after his advisors. Second it reminds me to f Martin Luther’s thesis and how it was later used to break from the church despite Luther’s intentions
@MichaelBellamy-o2t Says:
Great content, but why would you curse? Tried to show it to my high school freshmen and the cursing is unnecessary. Just giving you and this channel feedback.
@AsU-yz9lo Says:
Agustin de Iturbide is the true father of Mexican independence
@rogelioarmentasolorzano3848 Says:
Fun fact: that is NOT how Miguel Hidalgo physically looks like
@pygmalioninvenus6057 Says:
Mexico claimed independence through the drunken violence of a wayward mob. It should have stayed New Spain.
@daudilalusha9950 Says:
Thank you Simon and crew, you guys keep making history burst out with style. Love the little jokes that highlight the situation ,funny but imaginative

@jackryan1809 Says:
thanks for the video, summed up 2 classes, and 4 weeks of Latin american politics in 30 mins.
@brightharbor_ Says:
You might not have known because you are not from Notrh America, but "Indian" is a racial slur against Indigenous people. Please try not to use it again, because it is deeply offensive to many.
@carolinacontreras7584 Says:
Miguel Hidalgo wasnt born in the city of Guanajuato he was born in Hacienda Corralejo, in Penjamo, Guanajuato. My parents live 10 mins from his birthplace. My dad is so proud of his hometown for having such a great Mexican leader being born out of it. I grew up with my dad and grandfather telling me about the tales the hacienda has which is now a tequilera famous for GTO's most popular tequila , Tequila Corralejo.

Fascinating. Wish they'd covered him in history class.
@donnamccracken5924 Says:

Do Jose de San Martin
@uc9218 Says:
Could you do a video on José Maria Morelos?
@ernestogramsci1656 Says:
Awesome 😎
@lukethedrifter Says:
Very good Bio. Thank you 😊
@xm377Moyocoyatzin Says:
El Grito de Dolores literally translates as The Cry of Pain. In Mexico we interpret this as our own manifest destiny in that this signaled the Birth Pains of our new nation.
@sithlordinosuke8462 Says:
For future reference Guadalupe (Gua-De-loop-E)
@HaroldDVasquezLopez Says:
Great video of one of México’s founding fathers, as a Peruvian myself, it’d be nice to see a video on Jose Gabriel Condorcanqui (Tupac Amaru II), and Miguel Grau… as for someone whom I think gets often overlooked and is so important to understanding how the wars/strugle for independence in South America is somehow connected to the US’s own independence as well as the French Revolution, would be a video on Francisco Miranda. Greetings from Lima, Peru 🇵🇪 🙌🏻

@veijiouuuu Says:
Fun fact: Maximilian, emperor of Mexico had a comissioned a painting of Miguel Hidalgo since there was no picture of him, only vaguely descriptions of what people had told since then, long time ago. So Maximilian ask his closest Belgian priest to pose as a model for the painting. Every single painting of Hidalgo is in fact the face of that Belgian priest. Nobody knows for sure what does Hidalgo looked like.
@multipletanksyndrome Says:
Funny how you like, intentionally misquoted Shakespeare. "Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." Twelfty Night.
@explorer1968 Says:
Hidalgo was a leader of men but not a military genius. He should have left the military campaings to Captain Allende, leading the political affairs instead. Even before the Battle of Puente de Calderón, bitter disputes erupted between Hidalgo and Allende, fracturing the weak unity of the rebel army, a thing royalist General Calleja exploited well.

@IrKeNoVa Says:
Miguel Hidalgo was one of the three liberators, the other two being Simón Bolivar and José de San Martín, you need to cover them to get the full picture of Latin American independence.

His dream never came and will never come. Anyone who's ever been to Mexico knows it's a corrupt shithole run by gangs and filled with chicken shits. I guess that's what happens when you let criminals get out of control.
