"Guadalajara was founded in 1531 and was relocated several times in the following decade, under pressure from Indians. During the 16th century the city was the centre for Indian slave hunting. In 1810 it was occupied briefly by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, who initiated the independence movement and decreed the abolition of slavery in Mexico. . ."
