The National Holidays have already begun, although it is not yet the festive date, the large cities, as well as the Magical Towns of Mexico, are already preparing for this September 15, so many national symbols and decorations have taken over the public space. 

Among the most emblematic figures of the Mexican Independence Movement is General Vicente Guerrero, who was the second president of Mexico in 1829, and during his term he promoted free education, and on September 15, 1829 he abolished slavery in the country with a constitutional decree. 

Despite the great changes he wanted to make, Vicente Guerrero was overthrown by the coup d’état led by Anastasio Bustamante who sentenced him to death.
