    Since it seems like homework I will only provide a hint. It wasn't just in New Spain or Mexico that this situation existed--it was in all of Spain's colonies. That's one of the main reasons the colonies sought independence.

    Spaniards born in Spain = Peninsulares

    Spaniards born in Americas or other Spanish colonies = Criollos or Creoles

    Mestizo = Half Indian half Spaniard

    New Spain was the name of the viceroy-ruled territories of the Spanish Empire in Asia, North America, including the southwest United States-beginning in 1535 and lasting until 1821.
    So you can add to your list… the Habsburg senior line, for about 200 hundred of those years

    Yes, the kids come out thinking Mexico is the 'New Spain.'
