Start of the Social Classes/Europe's Influence:

Start of the Social Classes/Europe's Influence:

# data[].attributes.body
These social classes were started from spain, as spain was the mother country of the latin colonies. The social classes were most likely influenced from Europe’s social classes, as france is so close to spain. The africans/Natives were at the bottom of the social classes because of Europe’s influence of the thought that white people are better than any other race/people. You can see this in Spain’s social classes as mulattoes and mestizos are the same social class, but mulattoes were more african heritage, thus they were in a lower social class.

# data[].attributes.body
The Native Americans/Africans and Mestizos/Mulattoes were on board with the idea of independence, the Creoles were uneasy about the decision, and the Peninsulares were strongly against it. The Creoles were anxious about the mix of race in the colonies. They thought it would be too much of a challenge to create a stable government, a strong economy, and a sense of nationhood independently.

# data[].attributes.body
The spanish were unwilling to share political power, which caused multiple people in all different social classes to become irritated, they tolerated it for a little while, but things got to out of hand when the Spanish started doing more and more unfair things to the colonies. Another major thing that set the colonies off was the Spanish’s idea of mercantilism. The spanish took most of the profits from resources that the people in the colonies worked hard for. The colonies wanted nothing to do with the spanish and wanted to become individual colonies. With that thought in mind, the colonies were given an opportunity to declare their independence in 1808 when the french army invaded spain.

# data[].attributes.body
The Natives/Africans were the lowest social class, but also the most populated. They were not necessarily considered citizens, but did much of the labor that was needed for the colonies. They were the slaves that did work for little to no pay and were treated brutally.

# data[].attributes.body
The mestizos made up a lot of the population. They were mainly European and Indian immigrants. They mostly worked as servants to creoles and peninsulares, but also worked as plantation overseers and farmhands. The mulattoes were the same social level as Mestizos, but they had more European and African ancestry.

# data[].attributes.body
The creoles were spaniards, but they were born in Latin America. They were officers in the army, but not in government. They controlled a lot of the land and business in the colonies However they were frustrated with the amount of power that the peninsulares had.

# data[].attributes.body
The peninsulares were people born in spain or portugal. They held the highest offices along with important military and political positions. They had slaves and servants to make their lives easier. They didn’t have to worry about money or having enough power in the political system. They didn’t have to worry about spain, because they were looked high upon from spain, their life was pretty amazing.

# data[].attributes.body
The latin american colonies were obviously in latin america, they included México, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Perú, Brasil, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Haití, Paraguay, and the United Provinces of Central America. These colonies were fighting against the spanish for their independence. The first colony to declare it's independence was Haiti in 1804.

This is a cartoon example of the three estates

# data[].attributes.subject
This is a cartoon example of the three estates

# data[].attributes.body
This is the Third estate breaking away from the other two estates in the estates general

# data[].attributes.body
The third estate had to pay taxes that the other estates didn’t. Such as a land tax, a poll tax(they had to pay to vote), a tithe tax, they also had to pay a certain amount of money every year to the King/tax collectors. These are not all the taxes that the commoners had to pay, there were also more types of taxing on normal everyday items that the commoners had to pay whereas the nobles and clergy were exempt from them.

# data[].attributes.body
The life of a clergy was a life of wealth, power, and significance. The clergy were close with the king and their opinion mattered greatly. They didn’t have to pay any taxes and didn’t have to worry at all about possibly having to pay taxes. They mostly worked as priests, monks, bishops, and nuns. They were more than financially stable and could buy a surplus amount of not only what they needed, but also what they wanted.

# data[].attributes.body
The life of a noble was like a paradise compared to the life of a commoner. The life of a noble was a life with good income and no taxes. The life of a noble was very privileged, because even though they worked, they did not work as hard as the commoners, yet they had better income and little/no taxes to pay. The nobles mostly worked to collect rent and taxes from the commoners, giving them a steady income, instead of being unsure if they will even be able to pay for food to eat. The nobles were able to buy a what they needed to survive and more, so not them a steady income, instead of being unsure if they will even be able to pay for food to eat. The nobles were able to buy a what they needed to survive and more, so not ere able to refuse it, so the king had to put more taxes for the commoners to pay.

# data[].attributes.body
Life for a commoner was not a even close to living, it was mostly just surviving. The commoners were the ones with the least amount of income, yet they were forced to pay taxes to help out the upper classes, such as the first and second estates. They were forced to do all the work, but had to struggle to pay for food and clothes. They made a living off of bread and old clothes, but when France supported the American revolution, they became in debt, so the commoners had to pay the government even more through taxation. This means that the price for essentials, for example bread, had became so expensive that the commoners couldn’t afford it anymore, and it didn’t help that there was a problem with the harvest, so not only was bread too expensive due to taxation, but the price was also raised due to low supply and high demand.

Start of the Three/Four Estates (Ancien Regime)

# data[].attributes.subject
Start of the Three/Four Estates (Ancien Regime)

# data[].attributes.body
The three estates started by the ancien regime, which was like a constitution. It stated that France be divided into three social classes, the estates. The regime was made so that France could keep its social structure, have tax money paid, and to make sure the king has the power over the estates. It was divided like this because that was France’s way to keep structure and order in the country. It stayed like this for the amount of time that it was enforced because the first and second estates had more political power than the third estate, so the upper classed estates were biased when making decisions in court, and favored the first two estates more than the third estate, so that they kept their wealth.

# data[].attributes.body
The thing that really pushed the third estate over the top(other than the Ancien Regime) was what happened when King Louie called an estates general meeting to solve the financial problems. The first and second estates outvoted the third estate, meaning the third estate would have to pay more taxes. This really set them off, because they were barely living off of the income they had, and the new taxes would make it even more difficult to live, so they decided to not stand for it anymore and rebel. Another big thing was that they had a food shortage due to problems in the grain harvest, also the commoners ate bread to stay alive, however the price of bread skyrocketed, because of supply and demand “rules.” This means that not only were the commoners living off of low income and high taxes, they now also had to deal with not being able to eat.

# data[].attributes.body
The French revolution started when the commoners had had enough. The taxes were getting too high and they were starting to starve, yet they still had to keep working without benefiting from it. France was also in a financially debt due to funding the American revolution, so the king held an Estates General(meeting) to try to solve the problem. Even though the lower class made up almost all of the population, their votes counted the same as the two upper classes combined. The upper classes obviously wanted to keep their status, so they voted against the third estate, causing the third estate having to pay for the dept France was in. The third estate saw the unfair treatment and broke off from the other two estates. They declared a national assembly for themselves. They pledged to create a new constitution with or without the other classes. King louie made the first and second estates meet with the third estate at the national assembly, with the exception of necker, the finance minister. When the third estate heard this, they became enfuried. They stormed the bastille prison, which was a symbol of royal power and a large storehouse for weapons. This meant the revolution had begun.

# data[].attributes.body
The third estate started the rebellion by a gathering in a tennis court room. The event was called the tennis court oath. This oath/meeting was on June 20th 1789. The ancien regime started in 1787, so it took the commoners about 2 years to start to rebel against the regime. The regime didn’t end until 1799. The war lasted about 10 years, from 1789-1799, meaning when the commoners took a stand against the regime, and even though it took some time and war, they won and got more of a fair and reasonable life.

The boston tea party was a protest colonist in massachusetts put together to make the British mad, because the colonist wanted the British to feel what they were feeling. The boston tea party was where the colonist dressed up as indians and boarded a boat that had shipments of tea on it. They took the tea and poured it into the harbor. Europe got very mad at this, which essentially was the Colonists' plan, however Europe punished Massachusetts by blockading the boston harbor. This limited their freedom of trade and income. What Europe failed to realize is that this punishment was the main time that the colonies came together and unified to help one another, which potentially hurt Europe in the long run.

# data[].attributes.body
The intolerable acts were the acts that were made to punish massachusetts. The main punishment was the boston port act, which was talked about a little in the boston tea party section, however there were more punishments that took place. One being, the government act. This act gave more power to the governor(who was chosen by Britain) and took away power from the colonist. This act also made it to where they could only have one town meeting per year. Another intolerable act was the administration of justice act. This act allowed the governor(the ones britain chose) to bring trials to Europe.(Europe was biased and would be harsher than the colonies' trials.

# data[].attributes.body
The tea act was a law passed in parliament to where tea in the colonies were now taxed. The main reason tea was now being taxed is because the west indian tea company was going bankrupt and the tea act was Europe's way to keep that from happening. This was major in the colonies because almost everyone drank tea, and now they had to pay extra for it. Along with the tea tax, the west indian company became a monopoly, meaning it could sell it's tea for whatever price it wanted and no other tea companies could compete with it.

# data[].attributes.body
These were laws that taxed everyday items like paper, lead, paint, and glass. These laws also gave the British the right to search any colonists' homes and/or business. Along with those, new courts in the americas were added, so they could prosecute any smugglers without a local jury which is completely unfair to the smuggler, guilty or not guilty. The townshend acts were used because Europe wanted the colonies to, essentially, pay for themselves. This means all the governors, judges, and troops salaries were paid by the taxes from the colonies because they were stationed in the americas.

# data[].attributes.body
The Colonies had to pay for the French and Indian war, even though they technically weren't fighting. The colonies warned Europe(France) that the Indians were claiming Europe's land west of the appalachian mountains. The colonies didn't have an army, so the only thing they could really do was make Europe aware of what was happening, so they could defend their land. later on, Europe made the colonies pay for some expenses of the war, even though the colonist had no say in going to war AND did not benefit from it in any way, as trade laws were now made and enforced
