False, Miguel Hidalgo's "Grito de Dolores" called for Mexicans to rise up against Spanish rule. "Grito de Dolores" literally translates from Spanish to English as "The Cry of Dolores", which marks the beginning of the Mexican War of Independence. It was uttered by a Catholic priest and the anniversary of this day (September 16th) seen as the national holiday and independence day of Mexico.
