Racial mixture replayed an important role in the creation of a population of castes in Spanish America. The efforts on behalf of the Crown and Church to avoid race mixture had no effect. The Spaniards, the Indians and the Africans interacted sexually throughout the years which resulted in a variety of racial mixture; this development strengthened the formation o f numerous classes of free persons of African ancestry. The inter-racial links during the colonial period were constant. If the slave owners did not legitimate their relations with the female slaves and free women, blacks and mulattas, they maintained ties of "concubine" some of which were quite strong and long-lasting. |
