Which groups led the quest for Mexican independence?
Answer:
Creoles led the quest for Mexican independence. The creoles were of higher status than most in Mexico as they were of 100% European decent, yet were born in Latin America, which fueled their anger because they were not able to hold high positions even though they were white. The creoles gained the support of the natives, Africans, mestizos, and mulattos who shared a general discontent but were unable to organize a widespread rebellion by themselves as they had no authority to begin with.
