suffocated small creole uprisings that lacked popular support.
"But now each day are becoming more numerous (creoles) those who believe that the ways of reform are closed, and that it’s needed to resort to violent means. The principles are the same managed by the creole party in 1808. The following year Julián de Castillejos, official Creole, went to trial for having made a call to viceroy Garibay to form a board in the name of Fernando VII, on the basis that "in the current circumstances sovereignty resides in the people". In September of the same year a new Valladolid conspiracy is discovered, headed by Captain José María García Obeso and don José Mariano Michelena, that included several creole officers and low clergy. Their plan was to form a congress made up of members of the villas, who would hold the royal sovereignty in deposit." (Luis Villoro. 1976)
It is then that the Bajio creole conspirators, decided to invite a priest, so that he in turn, promotes the rebellion among the indigenous peoples. When the conspiracy is discovered and about to be apprehended, the priest Miguel Gregorio Antonio Ignacio Hidalgo and Costilla Gallaga (1753-1811) gives the “Grito de Dolores”. It is important to note that at the end of the proclamation, Miguel Hidalgo cheers the King of Spain. The pro-independence creoles remained ideologically close to Ferdinand VII, prisoner by Napoleon in France.
"The other rebellion leader, Allende, can no longer easily follow the popular bias that the revolution has taken. His disagreements with Hidalgo are explained, not by personal conflicts, but by his ambiguous social status. Allende does not understand nor approve the condescension of Hidalgo with the plebs. From the outset strives to transform the rebellion in an uprising ordered, directed by official creoles; but his anger reaches the limit when the priest begins to drop into oblivion the figure of Ferdinand VII. The attitude of Allende is the first sign of many creoles hesitation before a revolution that tends to surpass them." (Luis Villoro. 1976)
