Father Hidalgo Costilla

Step-by-step explanation:

The lowest social hierarchy in new spain were the Indians. There were four classes

1. The peninsulares

2. The Creoles

3. The mestizos

4. The Indians

The Indians were used as slaves to serve the spaniards.

The Criollo priest who led this rebellion is Father Hidalgo Costilla. On september 16yh in the year 1810, this man called for an end to spanish rule in Mexico as well as equality for all races and equitable distribution of land in what is known as the cry of Dolores. This priest set the pace for other people who fought for mexican independence
