Mexican Independence Day History:

In 1810, Father Miguel Hidalgo of Dolores, Mexico was planning a revolt to free the country from Spanish rule. On September 15, 1810, at 11:00 pm, Father Hidalgo rang his church bell to call his parishioners and rally them to fight off Spanish rule. He then made a speech to his congregation, and the fight for freedom began.
