SPAIN AND THE AMERICA CHANGE OF CULTURE
(WEEK 5A)
After a few years of the European arrival America had changed, from being a total different thing of what was Spain to becoming one pretty much the same. The difference was that the inhabitants of South America were a mix betweeen “ cachacos” “criollos” negros” “blancos” because of this, the jerarqy was starting to born as the whites were the riches and the owners of the lands, the black people werent allowed to have a house of their own, so they were the most pooor class. The Cahacos, and Criollos were of halve, meaning not poor but not rich either. The Natives or indians werent able to go to any parties o events of the rich or middle people but neither were as discriminated as the black people.The Spanish had right to maximum 10 blacks and five indians as slaves. So slowly but surely America was becoming a new Spain but with the people more despearte to fir in. Thats why so many prostitutes where now working in the streets, and so a lot of people started to cheat to their wifes and the familiar problems started. Things that didnt happened before because one indian had the right of having seven female accompanions.
As the new era begun, the changes were drastic, because all the territories of the Natives were destroyed to make houses for the kings, the cities were finally called names, as the first cities were Santafe De Bogota, Cartagena and Santa Marta. As the people tried to settle down on the diferent parts of Colombia, The materials were also distribuited depending on the class of the people. The “Divine Crown” had the right to the best materials for making a home as well as the best floors even the glasses. As for the middle level were happy to choose between zinc or icopor The natives had to build his houses with wood and the Black had n o right to any elements.
The food that was on the first place from america, was sent to Europe and less than the half was sent back to america to be distribuited, and once again the discrimination was shown. The good food was of course for the White europeans, The one that was a little bit raw was for the middñe, and the one who was Rotten was for the natives and black.
So these discrimination was really desperate and america was really in a very bad moment. Something needed to change.
