The correct answer to this open question is the following.
If you get involved with Father Hidalgo and his revolutionaries you risk your life and the safety of your family. Would you join them?
Yes, of course. And the reason is this.
I would join them to fight for freedom from the Spanish crown. As many Patriots joined George Washington and the Continental Army to fight against the British troops to get independence from the British crown.
Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla is considered to be the Father of México.
One important accomplishment of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla was that he encouraged poor and mixed-race people to fight for freedom in New Spain.
Miguel Hidalgo's "Grito de Dolores" called for Mexico to rise against the Spanish for independence and racial equality. Hidalgo's "Grito de Dolores" represented the beginning of the Mexican Independence Movement. This event was held in Dolores, Hidalgo, on September 15, 1810. The "Criollos" (Creoles) organized the movement and invited the Native Indians to sum forces to fight against the Spanish troops in New Spain. Other great Mexicans such as José María Morelos y Pavón, Vicente Guerrero, and Agustín de Iturbide participated in the rebellion.
