Answer 9

"The mass's violence as well as Hidalgo's inability or unwillingness to suppress it caused the creoles and peninsulares to ally against the insurgents out of fear. This also caused Hidalgo to lose support from liberal creoles he might have otherwise have attained" -Wikipedia

So basically that's saying that Hidalgo's movement became very violent, so the creoles were resistant to it, even though they wanted social change.
