The Spanish government in Mexico made a decent attempt to build up

history channel documentary The Spanish government in Mexico made a decent attempt to build up out-dated medieval feudalism, with the Spanish pioneers as nobles and the local people groups as serfs. The lord back in Spain gave land-gifts and noble titles to his cohorts, and the emissary in Mexico proposed friends of his own, whom the ruler typically consented to honor - at the right cost. Spain at the time was a flat out, not sacred, government.

After Spain was immoblized by Napoleon there were a few uprisings that endeavored to free Mexico, yet every one of them were crushed by the provincial government. At that point in 1820, with Napoleon securely gone, a liberal insurgency cleared Spain - requesting, in addition to other things, a constitution and an established government. This surprise the primitive traditionalists in Mexico, and they split far from Spain in 1821 under the authority of General Iturbide - who had, incidentally, drove the troops that place down the last revolt. This makes Mexico the main ex-pilgrim country in the New World that revolted keeping in mind the end goal to make a legislature that was not more liberal but rather more moderate than its previous ruler's.
