According to this article, what were the roles and the importance of Africans in Spanish America?
- they were soldiers servants, settlers, and slaves and also they helped to colonize Spanish america.

What are some of the examples the article uses to support its argument about the role of Black Conquistadors?
-Even though if they work same as the others. They always not get the recognition or reward.

Race is a social construct. How was race constructed in Colonial Mexico and how did these constructs change depending on a persons social position?
-African use to help settle Mexico after the major battles. Many colonist left behind to organize the community. So they allowed to move up in society by buying certificiate to change their race to give them a high social standing.
