The middle class system in Spanish America was made up of professionals such as lawyers, doctors, and teachers; merchants and traders; skilled craftsmen; and some landowners. These groups were economically comfortable but did not have as much wealth and power as the upper class.
The class system in Spanish America was primarily made up of peninsulares (those born in Spain), criollos (those born in the Americas of Spanish descent), mestizos (mixed European and indigenous ancestry), mulattos (mixed European and African ancestry), indigenous peoples, and enslaved Africans. These groups were hierarchically structured with peninsulares at the top and indigenous peoples and enslaved Africans at the bottom.
Dominance of Spanish-born nobility
The Caste System divided people into groups....the Upper class..THe Middle Class..and The lower class.
1) The upper class is the Peninsulares (they were born in Spain). 2) Next were the Creoles, people born in Americas that have parents born in Spain. 3) Mestizos, people with Spanish and Native American parents. 4) Native Americans in poverty. 5) African slaves.

The social class system in Spanish America was based on a hierarchy that included peninsulares (those born in Spain), criollos (those of Spanish descent born in the Americas), mestizos (those of mixed indigenous and European ancestry), indigenous peoples, and enslaved Africans. Peninsulares held the highest social status, followed by criollos, while mestizos, indigenous peoples, and enslaved Africans occupied lower positions in society.
The Spanish implemented a strict social class system in Spanish America primarily to maintain control over the diverse populations and ensure colonial governance. This hierarchy, often based on race and lineage, established clear distinctions between Spaniards, Creoles, mestizos, indigenous peoples, and enslaved Africans, reinforcing Spanish dominance. By privileging those of Spanish descent and marginalizing others, the system helped to solidify political power, economic interests, and cultural hegemony in the colonies. Ultimately, it aimed to prevent rebellion and maintain order in the vast and varied territories under Spanish rule.
We were studying this in social studies class and I believe it is called ..........: Creoles . They were second the social class when the Spanish took over a long time ago.
The seven groups in the binomial classification system are the Kingdom, Phylum or Division, Class, Order, Family, Genius and Species.
