(The time period is Latin america before its independence.)
(Also it does not need to be 2 pages, 1 page is also enough.)

For this discussion, I would like you to role play (only choose 1): You can  take on the persona of:

1. a wealthy encomienda

2. a native slave

3. an African slave

4. owner of a sugar plantation

5. a merchant

6. a privateer or pirate

7. the Spanish crown, trying to regulate trade and maintain control and profit

8. a woman

What is your life like during this period? How does the expansion of mining and sugar affect your wealth and well-being – or lack thereof if you are a slave? How are your business and income affected by trade of both legal and contraband merchandise, taxes, and pirates interrupting the transport of merchandise? What is the life of a pirate or privateer like during this period?
