Question
What happened in 1821 and why should we remember it?
Beginning on September 16, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest, launched the Mexican War of Independence with the issuing of his Grito de Dolores. Father Hidalgo called for the end of Spanish rule in Mexico, redistribution of land, and racial equality. This began Mexico’s fight for independence from Spain.
After years of fighting, Agustín de Iturbide negotiated the Plan of Iguala in early 1821. Under the plan, Mexico would be established as an independent constitutional monarchy. Additionally, the privileged position of the Catholic Church would be maintained, and Mexicans of Spanish descent would be regarded as equals to pure Spaniards. Mexicans of mixed or pure Indian blood would have lesser rights.
Finally, on August 24, 1821, the Treaty of Córdoba was signed, which approved a plan to make Mexico an independent constitutional monarchy. The Treaty of Córdoba was signed and finally ended Spain’s control over Mexico. Mexico officially became an independent nation.
Mexico’s independence ushered in an era of Anglo settlement. Thousands of Americans began to move to Texas to take advantage of affordable land. The era of Mexican Independence was about the change the course of Texas history.

In 1821 Mexico finally won its independence from Spain. Agustín de Iturbide wrote the Plan of Iguala to make Mexico an independent constitutional monarchy and keep the Catholic Church’s strong role, and then the Treaty of Córdoba was signed on August 24, 1821 to make it official. We should remember 1821 because it ended Spanish rule and started big changes—like many Americans moving into Texas for cheap land—which changed the course of Texas history.
