Mexican writer and revolutionary Francisco Madero served as the president of Mexico from 1911 until his assas-sination in 1913. Arrested on the orders of President Díaz in 1910, Madero was imprisoned in San Antonio (Texas), but he escaped later that year. During his incarceration he wrote a document known as the “Plan of San Luis de Potosí” (it was published in the Mexican town of that name) that called for rebellion throughout Mexi-co. The plan ushered in the revolution that led to the collapse of the Díaz presidency.
