The population of the Spanish colonies in North America during the 1600s and early 1700s typically included groups such as:-
1. Religious Minorities
2. Independent Ranchers
3. Catholic Missionaries
4. Spanish Soldiers
A Religious Minority is a religion held by a minority of the population of a country, state, or region. Minority religions may be subject to stigma or discrimination. An example of a stigma is using the term cult with its extremely negative connotations for certain new spiritual movements.
A racial/ ethnic minority is a person whose race or ethnicity is a non-dominant race within the group. Inside the united states, racial/ethnic minorities are usually considered to include Hispanic/Latinos, African people, Asians, Native Americans, Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders, and those of or more races.
