The correct answer is True.

Explanation

During the late fifteenth century, a Spanish expedition led by Christopher Columbus with the aim of surrounding the land to reach the Indies, however, took Spaniards the New World, an unexplored place where they found great civilizations such as the Aztec, Inca, Muisca, among others. These civilizations were dominated by the Spaniards, who imposed themselves and ruled until the independence of the countries during the 19th century.

The Spanish colonial social hierarchy was made up of five levels, on the cusp were the Spaniards with important positions and titles of the aristocracy; in second place were the Spaniards who were poor and had gone to the colonies as merchants or performing other duties; in third place were the mestizos, the majority of the population, who were the result of mixing races between whites and indigenous people, and worked on the farms; in fourth place were the natives indigenous of the New World, they had no participation of any kind, however they had their territory; in the lower part of the hierarchical pyramid were the blacks brought from Africa, they were slaves and had no rights as they were treated like objects. So, the correct answer is True.
