How was the social structure in latin america similar to that of pre revolutioary france? how are they different?

Explanation:

Social structure in both Latin America before the wars for Independence and France before the French revolution was characterized by rich ruling minority and poor subjugated majority. The Catholic Church represented by the Clergy occupied the top position in both Latin America, followed by nobles in France and Peninsulars in Latin America. The poor minority in these regions was heavily taxed and mistreated which lead to revolting against the ruling higher classes.

Meanwhile, the key difference between social structures in Latin America and France was laying in the fact that in Latin America it was heavily marked by ethnicity, while in France it was not.

For example, in major parts of Latin America, Peninsulars were the pure-blood noble Spaniards that came from Spain to rule over Spanish colonies (corresponding to French nobles). On the bottom of Latin American social structure were Mulatto (mix of white an black blood), Mestizos (mix of white and Indigenous American blood) and ultimately African slaves.
