Notably at the time of his capture in Acatita of Bajan Allende refused and once taken he faced the process with dignity and without compromising anyone in their statements. He was sentenced to death and executed in June 1811.

Allende represents rare patriotism and delivers the first leaders in the cause of national independence.

Creole military since the early nineteenth century sympathized with the independence aspirations of Americans which led him to participate in the conspiracies of Valladolid and Dolores in favor of independence. Along with Hill was one of the principal leaders and initiators of the independence movement. As Captain-General of the rebels Allende had an outstanding participation in the events that occurred arms in the center of New Spain between September 1810 and March 1811.
