Answer:
I know most of these as they have played a rather important part while I lived in Colombia. When South America was first colonized, people were divided because of the clashing cultures. It was a type of blood purity thing, kind of like Harry Potter.
A peninsular - a person born in Spain to Spanish parents that came over to South America.
Creoles- people born in South America but with 2 peninsular as parents.
Mestizos- (me, and most people in modern South America) were people born with one peninsular and a native or a creole.
Mulattoes- were people born of a peninsular and a person from Africa, who were usually there to work on the sugar cane plantations, these children were usually illegitimate.
In modern South America these distinctions are not as clear but are present, people "cleaner" (not my words, but a kind of slur) live in big cities while mulattoes and some mestizos live on the outskirts and the countryside.
Back in the day they were there to separate the population in order to stop alliances, it worked but was a cruel way to oppress people and eventually led to massive bloodshed.
I hope this helps!

The most notable New South initiative was the introduction of textile mills in the South for a modern economy grounded in factories.</h2>
Explanation: In south, slavery and the plantation methods took the place of sharecropping and tenant farming system in the South. The labor had to share a portion of the grown crops with the landlord in order to pay for renting the land.
Under the sharecropping system, the landlord supplied the capital to buy the seed and equipment where the labor were supplied by shareholder.
In other tenancy farming arrangements the laborer took responsibility for purchasing seed and equipment.
The system did not allow the sharecropper to get ahead. The sharecroppers would not get rid of debt and could not leave. Slavery is the best word that describes Sharecropping.
