It also destroyed the privileges of the Creoles and the virtual caste system gave rise to the mestizo nation, a sense of national pride and appreciation of Mexican culture called mexicanidad and a greater respect for women. Feudalism and debt peonage ended, land was redistributed and unions were permitted to protect the rights of the workers.
