SOCIAL CLASSES European’s (Spanish and
Portuguese) set up the social classes in the colonies much like the social classes in their home country.
Social classes divided based on privilege! This is called a caste
system.
![Page 8: Warm up – 10/22/13](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816687550346895dda37d2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CASTE SYSTEM Permanent
Based on what place of the social hierarchy you are BORN into. Do you think this is
a fair way of doing things?

PENINSULARES Spanish and Portuguese officials who had
been born in Europe.

MESTIZOS The child of a European and a Native American. 25% of population
Not rich, not poor…just in the middle (economically)
![Page 12: Warm up – 10/22/13](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816687550346895dda37d2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MULATTOES The child of a European and African American
(slave)
![Page 13: Warm up – 10/22/13](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816687550346895dda37d2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NATIVE AMERICANS AND SLAVES Usually at the bottom of the caste system Lots of other groups emerged as a result of
unions between Mestizos and Mulattoes and between Native Americans and Africans.

RESOURCES FROM LATIN AMERICA This was a source of wealth for the Spanish
and Portuguese Removed natural resources
Gold, silver, deforestation, crops, etc. Needed to maintain a supply of labor so…
![Page 15: Warm up – 10/22/13](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816687550346895dda37d2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ENCOMIENDA SYSTEM Put into place by the Spanish crown. Native Americans forced to pay tribute
and provide labor to Spanish landowners. Spanish landowners given a certain amount
of Native American to “look after”.

RELIGION Spanish and Portuguese wanted to Christianize
the native people! Sent missionaries Built cathedrals, hospitals, schools and orphanages

2. Creole discontent at being left out of government jobs and trade concessions. Angry at peninsulares
3. Inspiration of American and French Revolutions.
4. Preoccupation of Spain & Portugal in fighting the Napoleonic Wars. (Weakens them)
