Several of them would qualify, but the two most renowned include Miguel Hidalgo (1753-1811) who is the starter of the revolt that escalated into the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821) against Spain, and Benito Juarez (1806-1872), a Zapotec indian who climbed the social ladder to become president of Mexico for several terms, resisted the Second Franco Mexican War (1861-1867), and helped modernize the country -- for instance, by separating the church from the state.
