  2. September 16 - Mexican Independence from Spain • September 16, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo, who was a Catholic priest in the village of Dolores, Guanajuato, ordered the arrest of the Spaniards who lived in Dolores. He then rang the church bell, which customarily called the townspeople to mass. • Hidalgo shouted his call to arms against Spain. That famous cry, known as "El Grito," is re-enacted all over present-day Mexico on the night of September 15th. Mexicans celebrate their independence on two consecutive days, the 15th and 16th of September. • Many respected historians believe he said, "¡Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe!" "Death to bad government.!"
