For some historians the struggle for Mexican Independence began in December 1650 when the Irishman William Lamport (a.k.a. Guillen de Lampart) escaped from the jails of the Inquisition and posted his Proclamation of Independence on the walls of the city. Not only was this the first proclamation of independence in the New World, but the first ever to promise a democratically elected monarch, racial equality and land reform. Lamport wanted Mexico to break with Spain and to separate church and state forever. It was not to be. Lamport was quickly recaptured and burned at the stake as a heretic and Mexico had to wait another two centuries for independence.
