\will you recover the lands stolen three hundred years ago from your forefathers by the hated spaniards?\ - father hidalgo

Explanation:

To determine the supporting and opposing groups, we analyze the context. The text states "Hidalgo led 600 mostly indigenous and mestizos in a rebellion against Spain". So, Indigenous people and mestizos supported the revolution as they likely sought to reclaim stolen lands (per Hidalgo's call: "Will you recover the lands stolen... by the hated Spaniards?") and gain freedom from Spanish rule. The Spanish opposed it because the revolution aimed to end their colonial control and take back lands they had seized, threatening their power and interests in Mexico.

Answer:

• Supporting groups: Indigenous people and mestizos (from "Hidalgo led 600 mostly indigenous and mestizos in a rebellion against Spain"). They supported to reclaim stolen lands and gain independence from Spanish colonial rule.
• Opposing group: The Spanish. They opposed as the revolution threatened their colonial power, land ownership, and control over Mexico.
