Focusing on the Independence, Reform, Revolution Panel of Oaxaca en la historia y en el mito, discuss the Manuel Sabino Crespo (1778-1814) about the 1. The War of Independence (1810–21).
= Manuel Sabino Crespo (1778-1814) Crespo,  like insurgents Morelos and Matamoros was a priest. Crespo was a leader in the War of Independence. Crespo is most likely the priest in the image of insurgents, although another source, including the description of the mural published for the inauguration of the mural indicate that the priest is Mariano Matamoros y Guridi. However, the image on the mural closely resembles a statue of Crespo in the town of Ejutla de Crespo suggesting that this statue of Crespo is the model for the priest in the mural. Or vice versa.  Although he was a priest in the small community of San Mateo Rio Hondo, 130 km from Antequera on the road to Huatulco, he was also a professor at the seminary school of the Holy Cross of Antequera. He joined the insurgent movement when José María Morelos and others we have mentioned, carried out the capture of Antequera in 1812. In September 1813, he participated in the Congress of Anahuac as a substitute for José María Murguía y Galardi, representing the province of Oaxaca.
During the war, a civil war, there were plenty of heated discussions and Crespo participated in them, especially in the Cathedral of Antequera. In 1813 Crespo argued that priests should continue to provide the Catholic sacraments to the insurgents. It appears that Crespo did not fight in battles as a soldier, although he was wounded in 1814 in a loyalist attack in which 200 insurgents died.
When he was captured in 1814, the Bishop of Antequera, Antonio Bergosa y Jordán, recommended that Sabino Crespo be beheaded. Despite the condemnation of his bishop, Crespo died by firing squad on October 14, 1814.
