The Creole elites formed the ruling class in Latin American countries. Fearing a repeat of the Haitian Revolution, Creoles took steps to establish a society that retained as much of its European structure as before. Despite some changes, however, a racial hierarchy continued to exist. This time it was the mixed race people on top while the Indians and slaves remained on the bottom tiers of society.
