Alan Davies · Answer 1

The correct is option D

Explanation:

Some creoles led the fight to end slavery and improve conditions for Mexican Indians.

The reason behind this was that Spain was becoming very stagnant in its way of ruling. It only thought of capturing a land and trying to slave the entire population amongst the kings and rule over them. They would extract all there is by blackmailing the king and keeping him hostage while making the population work for them.

The mexican indians realize their potential and decided to come out of the alvery of the Spain and improve their conditions as citizen with material value.
