Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Miscegenation, or racial mixing, was more extensive and accepted in French and Spanish colonies compared to British colonies where racism was more extreme. Spanish colonies witnessed less racial mixing between blacks and American Indians compared to mixing between whites and native peoples. Miscegenation varied across different colonies, but it was not a rare occurrence and was not universally illegal.
