Dear Diary, Today I, Pedro Montecito, have been invited as a mixed-blood Mexican to join Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla’s army. He has wanted me to take part in it as a way to repay him for his previous deeds to my family. He had not directly said so but I wanted to help him in his fight anyways. He has helped my family when it came to money. He did not care about his state of well-being; he would help no matter what. I had watched Hidalgo speak today in Dolores during his speech. People have been calling it El Grito de Dolores. It inspired me and reminded of what I was going to fight for. He had said: "Long live Our Lady of Guadalupe! Death to the gachupines! Down with the foul government!” This alone had inspired me. He knew there was no other way for this injustice to end but with a war. Our

It was said that the Spanish have over 50,000 soldiers. We have too few to even count. But even a small number like this must not get us down. If we want to win a war, we need strength, confidence, and spirit. I will give it my all to help Hidalgo win this war. Victory is all I can give as a repayment to Hidalgo. As of today... I am a soldier in the rebellious army lead by Hidalgo y Costilla. And as of today, I will fight for him, and for my country. - Pedro Dear Diary, Today, I, a mixed blood or American Indian, have today decided that I must fight for my freedom along with the rest of my kind. We shall no longer be taken over by the Spanish government. I have been summoned to war by Miguel Hildalgo and Castillo. Today, September 16th, I fight for freedom. Tom "Mexican Revolt of 1810."
