Vicente Ramón Guerrero Saldaña ( August 10, 1782 –
February 14, 1831) was one of the leading revolutionary generals of the Mexican
War of Independence. He fought against Spain for independence in the early 19th century, and later served as 2nd President of
Mexico. He abolished slavery on a national level during his brief term as president. Guerrero was killed in a rebellion coup under Vice-President Anastasio Bustamante.
One of the most notable Afro-Latino figures in history is Vicente Guerrero, the second elected president of
Mexico. Guerrero was mixed-race, of both African and Indigenous descent — an ethnic combination that was uncommon for men in power during his time.
