Mulatto (also Mulato) is a term of Spanish or Portuguese origin describing the offspring of African and European ancestry.
Although mulattos, and even full-blooded Africans, did once represent a sizable portion of the population in countries such as Mexico and Honduras, they were absorbed there for the most part by the mestizo populations of mixed European and Native American descent.
Mulatto was also used as a term for those of white and Native American ancestry during the early census years.

A mulatto is an individual with mixed fl and white heritage.
However, some individuals who were designated mulattos may have a slightly more mixed parentage, perhaps including Native American blood.
The 1850 and 1860 censuses only allowed an individual to describe himself as white, fl, or mulatto.

By 1800 fl slaves from Africa made up one-third of Brazil's population of 2 million.
Of the rest, about two-thirds were fl and mulatto and one-third of European origin.
In 1699 the goldfields of Minas Gerais were discovered, and the interiors of the states of Bahía, Goiás, and Mato Grosso were opened up and settled by groups of adventurers called Bandeirantes, who were attracted to these regions by stories of the fabulous wealth they were said to contain.
