Was Miguel Hidalgo a general who led Haitians to independence?

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla was a Roman Catholic priest and a leading figure in the Mexican War of Independence against the Spanish colonial rule. He is considered a national hero in Mexico and is known as the "Father of the Nation." However, he did not lead Haitians to independence.

The leader of the Haitian Revolution, which resulted in Haiti becoming the first independent nation in the Americas in 1804, was Toussaint Louverture.
