Maya Society
Before the arrival of Europeans, there were some major civilizations already thriving in Central America. One of these was the Maya. The Maya were not really a single people, they certainly wouldn't have seen themselves that way, but lived in a series of independent city-states and shared a similar language and culture. Each city was essentially its own kingdom, ruled by a powerful king.
Maya society, like many others in the world, was based around a class system. A person's social class determined their rights and opportunities in life, but unlike in many places at this time, there did seem to be a degree of social mobility in Maya cities. In other words, there were chances for people to increase their class through political, economic, and military opportunities.
