What He Did:

• Abolished Slavery: Guerrero issued a decree abolishing slavery in Mexico, years before the U.S. did the same.
• Fought for Independence: He was a leading general in the Mexican War of Independence against Spain.
• Advocated for the Oppressed: Guerrero championed the rights of Indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities, pushing for equality.
• Education & Land Reforms: He worked on public school initiatives and land reforms to help economically disadvantaged citizens
• Vicente Guerrero was overthrown due to political instability and opposition from conservative factions.
• His presidency faced resistance from elites who disliked his progressive policies, including his abolition of slavery and efforts to empower Indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities.
• His Vice President, Anastasio Bustamante, led a rebellion against him, accusing Guerrero of mismanaging the government and favoring radical reforms.
• Bustamante’s forces eventually captured Guerrero, leading to his execution by firing squad in 1831. His downfall was largely driven by opposition from Mexico’s ruling class, who saw his leadership as a threat to their interest
