Excerpt from The Valley of the Rio Grande: Its Topography and Resources
In 1821, the Mexicans ventured to throw off the yoke of Spain, and a plan of national independence was de clared at Iguala. General Iturbide declared himself Emperor soon afterwards. This was the first in a series of pronunciamentos, reactions, and revolutions, which have arrested the progress and checked the growth of this magnificent country; but it is only just to observe that all the struggles have sprung from the stern resolve of the Mexicans not to submit in peace or quiet to the yoke of the stranger, to the absolute rule which priest and captain alike sought to impose.
