Sumario:The emancipation of New Spain between 1810 and 1815 was the greatest period of insurgency under the leadership of the priests Miguel Hidalgo Costilla and José María Morelos. Counterinsurgency, meanwhile, came mainly from the sectors in partnership with the “Criollos” who were unwilling to carry out changes as substantial as those promoted by the movement of the Bajio. The writing took on significance in the press as a weapon to settle for the ideological struggle that erupted with the crisis that culminated in the independence process. In this sense, the press played or role in mobilizing society and denigrating the opponent. From 1810 to 1815, the insurgents seized the Mexican scene, from now on, the native conservatism took power in 1821, declaring independence.
