On September 16, 1810 exploded a rebellion led by father Hidalgo and Ignacio Allende in Dolores. Felix Calleja, San Luis Potosi’s military commander, formed a contingent of nearly three thousand men who, at the end of October, joined another of similar size from Mexico and Puebla under the command of Manuel de Flon, Puebla’s Governor. In this way was formed the Ejercito del Centro, which, with about six thousand men, was the first force that defeated the insurgents. The analysis of this army brings a greater understanding of the response of the authorities against the insurgency.
