This book is a radical reinterpretation of the process that led to
Mexican independence in 1821-one that emphasizes Mexico's
continuity with Spanish political culture. During its final decades
under Spanish rule, New Spain was the most populous, richest, and
most developed part of the worldwide Spanish Monarchy, and most
novohispanos (people of New Spain) believed that their religious,
social, economic, and political ties to the Monarchy made union
preferable to separation. Neither the American nor the French
Revolution convinced the novohispanos to sever ties with the
Spanish Monarchy; nor did the Hidalgo Revolt of September 1810 and
subsequent insurgencies cause Mexican independence. It was
Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1808 that led to the Hispanic
Constitution of 1812. When the government in Spain rejected those
new constituted arrangements, Mexico declared independence. The
Mexican Constitution of 1824 affirms both the new state's
independence and its continuance of Spanish political culture.
