    By early 1814, the rebels were on the run.

    Morelos was an incredible guerrilla


    commander, but the Spaniards outnumbered and outgunned him. The insurgents were in
    constant motion, trying to stay one step ahead of the Spanish. In November 5 th 1815, the
    Congress was on the move again and Morelos was appointed to escort them. The
    Spaniards surprised them at Tezmalaca and a battle ensued. Morelos bravely resisted the
    Spaniards while the Congress escaped, but was captured during the fight. He was sent to
    Mexico City in chains. There he was tried, excommunicated and finally executed on
    December 22nd of the same year.
