THE CULTURE OF THAT AREA CHANGED AND SO DID THE PEOPLE THERE
No. Society in the Spanish colonies was divided into a complex system of Castes. The peninsulares, i.e. Spaniards arrived from the Iberic Peninsula, were at the top, while the natives and black slaves were at the bottom, in the middle were the Criollos (children of Spanish parents but born in the Americas) and the Mestizos (children of a Spanish parent with a native) were in the middle. Each caste was angry for different reasons, the ones at the bottom (black and native slaves) wanted freedom, while criollos and mestizos wanted to be allowed into positions of power.
Comparing and contrasting European colonization on East Africa and Central and South Africa shows:
East Africa:
- Trade gave them access to new food crops, textiles and metal
- Slave trade was not as much as other parts of Africa.
South Africa:
- Slavery was rampant.
- Impoverishment of South and Central Africans and wealth to Europeans.
<h3>How was colonization in Southern Africa different from Eastern Africa?</h3>
The colonization in Southern Africa was overall negative as Africans were taken as slaves and treated as inferior to Europeans who took most of the wealth. This was especially the case in Angola, Mozambique, and South Africa.
The East Africans were however not subjugated to much slavery and the trade in textiles and metal brought some prosperity.
