Miguel Hidalgo joined with other Mexican revolutionaries such as, Ignacio Allende, Mariano Abasolo, Juan Aldama, and Jose Maria Morelos (Hamill, 100).“They could fight for exalted abstractions like God and king” (Henderson, 74).

It all depends on whichever party brings a rapid and major change in the mind sets of the people.
