To determine how Indigenous peoples were treated after Mexican independence, we need to understand the historical context. Mexican independence from Spain was achieved in 1821.
After Mexican independence, Indigenous peoples lost the protections they had been given under the Spanish colonial government. This is evident in the answer choices A and B.
To decide between option A and B, we need to consider whether cruelty increased or decreased towards Indigenous peoples and whether their circumstances were worse or better than during the Spanish colonial government. This may involve analyzing historical accounts, primary sources, or scholarly research on the topic.
Unfortunately, as an AI text-based model, I don't have real-time access to historical data. However, historical research suggests that Indigenous peoples faced continued discrimination, marginalization, and dispossession of their lands after Mexican independence. While there were some reforms and changes implemented by the Mexican government, such as the recognition of Indigenous communities' communal land rights, the overall treatment of Indigenous peoples varied and was often characterized by injustices.
Based on this information, it is more likely that option A is correct. Indigenous peoples lost the protections they had under the Spanish colonial government, and conditions, in some ways, were worse for them after Mexican independence.
