Answer:

Pennisulars; CREOLES

Step-by-step explanation:

The image attached can be used to help describe the social structure during the Latin American bustling age periods. Peninsulars were clearly ruling and leading on top of the social class and those who were enslaved and forced to work were roughly found at the bottom of each social class standard. Those at the bottom of the social class (CREOLES) structure were particularly angry about this because they felt politically inferior to the peninsulares. The Creoles felt betrayed by Spain and threatened by the peninsulares' position, leading them to seize political control of their homeland.

HOPE this helps!! :)
