Did the peninsulares creoles or mestizos support Mexican independence for Spain?

During the Mexican War of Independence, the support for independence varied among the social classes. Peninsulares, who were born in Spain, generally remained loyal to the Spanish crown and opposed independence, fearing the loss of their privileges. In contrast, many creoles (people of Spanish descent born in the Americas) and mestizos (mixed European and Indigenous ancestry) supported independence, driven by desires for greater political power and social equality. Ultimately, the creoles played a significant role in the independence movement, while mestizos contributed to the grassroots support necessary for the revolution.
