Colonists in Spanish America categorized members of society primarily based on race and lineage, leading to a complex Caste System. At the top were Spaniards born in Spain (peninsulares), followed by Creoles (Spaniards born in the Americas), mestizos (mixed Spanish and Indigenous ancestry), and Indigenous peoples. Additionally, enslaved Africans and free people of African descent were placed lower in the social hierarchy. This system influenced social status, legal rights, and access to resources throughout the colonies.
