This piece delves into California's involvement in the early Mexican independence movement from 1810 to 1821. It examines the political dynamics between Peninsulares and Criollos, the impacts of indigenous oppression, and the philosophical underpinnings of rebellion influenced by Enlightenment ideas. Highlighting key figures like Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla and the events that sparked the revolt, the narrative also reflects on California's isolation, foreign observations, and the cultural significance of these events that shaped the state’s identity amid turmoil.
