African Spaniards

Most of the African Spaniards were given roles that were very small but also meaningful. The Black Spaniards were very important in helping settlement, expeditions and other ways of giving aid in what they called the area " New Spain".

The article used explanations that the Africans wanted to find a political and stereotypical difference in the new country instead of the ones in Spain. It also mentioned that African men that were military were most likely to go to the new country then those that weren't in the military.

Race was settled by what race was married to what race. Depending on who you married decided who where you would live. Before you would have to buy a certificate to say that you have cleansed yourself of your ethncity to become one that was thought to be more higher than your previous.
