Morelos was the leader of the Mexican War of Independence.
In 1810, he revolted with Hidalgo against Spanish colonial rule.
After Hidalgo's death in 1811, Morelos established a team of 9,000 people in Guerrero and fought hard with the Spanish colonists.
In February 1812, the Governor of Mexico surrounded the Morelos team in Cuoutola for more than three months.
The Morelos team ate insects, soap and bark and struggled very hard, but they refused to surrender.
On May 2, Morelos led the team to break through. The Spanish governor-general in Mexico, Carreja, only won an empty city, and history was uploaded as a laughing stock. After breaking through the siege, Morelos launched an offensive and continued to win, occupying all southern Mexico except Mexico City, Puebla and Veracruz. He convened a representative meeting in Chil Pershing to declare Mexico as an independent republic-the Republic of Annahuak, and declared racial equality, abolished the privileges of priests and officers, and allocated large farm land to farmers. At the same time, he advocated the abolition of tithe tax and expropriation of church land, and also formulated a constitution, appointed three people as executive heads by the Congress, and established the Supreme Court and the Procuratorate.
With the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain, the colonialists stepped up their counterattack. The Mexican Governor Carreja attacked the south. Morelos’s team was suddenly attacked by a cavalry team led by a native white landlord Ituvelde. After being broken up, Morelos was attacked by traitors and captured. He was sent to Mexico City, where he died heroically on December 22, 1815. The revolutionary forces were severely devastated, and by December 1817, only a few guerrillas continued to fight.
