The colonial mestizos

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The colonial mestizos served as links between the Indian and Spanish populations, acting as intermediaries in the social and economic spheres. They often held administrative and bureaucratic positions, facilitating communication and trade between the two groups. However, they were not exempt from taxation and the Inquisition, and were also subject to racial discrimination. While some may have attended university or become military officers, this was not a guaranteed possibility for all colonial mestizos. It is also not specified whether they were or were not nomadic horsemen.
