Summary After the cry of Dolores, Hidalgo the priest was transformed into the leader of a Revolution whose ultimate goal was to end poor governance. With his ragtag army, Hidalgo launched a campaign that spilled "rivers of blood," as he himself said. In a matter of days, Hidalgo had gone from heaven to hell. He was caught up in a whirlwind, committing acts of violence he would repent at his final destination-the firing squad-not knowing that the struggle he had begun would culminate in the independence of an entire kingdom.
