During the American War of Independence he acted as a secret negotiator with Spain in an effort to secure a peace agreement between the two nations.

His plays are often remembered for their sympathetic depiction of colonial characters and others generally considered to be margins of society.
Malinchism Malinchism (Spanish: "malinchismo" ) or malinchist (Spanish: "malinchista" ) is a form of attraction that the foreigner has in the popular imagination, causing individuals to lose the spirit of nationality by moving to the other side, a particular case of cultural cringe. It is derived from the name of Hernán Cortés's Nahua advisor La Malinche, referring to a deep-rooted Mexican inferiority complex or self-hatred for the preference for all things foreign to the point of self-destruction. La Malinche is used as a symbol for being supposed to have assisted the Spaniards in destroying Native Americans' way of life, values, norms and culture and exploit the Native American peoples.
