In Latin America, the hacienda created a complex social order in society. Since most of the land was controlled by haciendas, it also employed most of the population. Each hacienda is distinct, ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of people working/living here. Together, the residents of these haciendas create a village, as some people may be priests, teachers, clerks, accountants, storekeepers, hired shepherds and cattlemen, and families who rent land. Most of the workers however are African slaves or natives, enslaved by those who came from Europe, establishing a lower class.
