The Spanish population in the New World centered on the islands of Hispaniola and Cuba, and in the mainland cities of Veracruz and Panama. Male Europeans outnumbered females by a 5-to-1 ratio. These men were mostly in the 20's or early 30's and boasted about the number of lovers or mistresses (or wives) they had. This helped the rapid assimilation of cultures in the following generation. (1)About 150 of the settlers in Hispaniola and 50 in Veracruz were Jewish immigrants.

  • The Spanish population in the New World centered on the islands of Hispaniola and Cuba, and in the mainland cities of Veracruz and Panama. Male Europeans outnumbered females by a 5-to-1 ratio. These men were mostly in the 20's or early 30's and boasted about the number of lovers or mistresses (or wives) they had. This helped the rapid assimilation of cultures in the following generation. (1)About 150 of the settlers in Hispaniola and 50 in Veracruz were Jewish immigrants. (2)From 1525 to 1530 the population of "adventures" in Cuba declined to less than 100 as these individuals moved to the mainland, died, returned to Europe, or changed their outlook and became "settlers". In the table above, the Europeans are divided into two categories: settlers and adventures. Settlers where people who had decided to make the New World their home and made long term plans for development and occupation. Adventures were people who hoped to get rich in the New World and then return to Europe to enjoy their wealth. The slave trade with Africa was still relatively small when papatlaca struck the Spanish Main, and shrunk to zero shortly thereafter. Most of the slaves in the New World were natives to the New World . This made it possible for run-away slaves on the mainland to melt into the countryside because they knew the local language and environment.
