I guess you mean IN Mexico. In that case, those would be:

  • Benito Juarez (1806-1872), regarded as the greatest president Mexico has ever had, due to his actions aimed at resisting the French occupation, overthrowing the Empire (imposed by the French invaders), and restoring the Republic, as well as for his efforts to modernize the country.
  • Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1794-1876) is the most controversial figure in Mexico, as he started the republican movement and helped transform the First Mexican Empire into a Federal Republic. He however, is often blamed for having lost half the Mexican territory to the United States (present-day California, Texas, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, as well as parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma) during his presidency.
  • Miguel Hidalgo (1753-1811) is regarded as the "Father of the Nation" in Mexico. Although he was captured and executed by Royalist Forces at the beginning of the war, he is considered to be the "precursor and creator of the rest of the heroes of the (Mexican War of) Independence."
