This article will explore local Y ucatecan politicking and the Y ucatecan– M exican relationship at the time of independence, using Y ucatán's pronunciamiento for independence in S eptember 1821 as a case study. This examination will highlight the fact that, while local ambitions played a significant role in Y ucatán's bid for independence, this did not necessarily detract from Y ucatecans' attempts to not only engage with national political movements, but also to unite with M exico. This in turn will take further historians' recent attempts to revise the traditional perception of Y ucatán as one of the more pro‐autonomous and isolated states of early nineteenth‐century M exico.
