Specially related to their respective metropolis nonetheless, specifically on the economy issue, along with their economic boom, this led successfully to good social progress, as well as encouraging and promoting democracy internally.
Consequently, not having been colonies or existed prolonged wars seeking independence from neither empire dominion, bright men weren’t sacrified after independence. Big transformations and adjustment within the new society structure just created wasn't necessary after America independence, as it was the case of Latin America that still lags behind. Contrary to Jose Marti, after victory and independence achievement, North American independence leaders survived until becoming presidents for 20 years to lead the country along a course previously planned.
The Spanish colonization of the Americas was the settlement and political rule over much of the western hemisphere which was initiated by the Spanish conquistadores and fought mostly by their native allies. Beginning with the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492, over three centuries the Spanish Empire expanded from early small settlements in the Caribbean to include Mexico, Central America, most of South America, and what today is Southwestern United States, the Pacific and Caribbean coasts of North America.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the Spanish possessions in America began a series of independence movements, which culminated in Spain's loss of all of its colonies on the mainland of North, Central and South America by 1825. The remaining Spanish colonies of Cuba and Puerto Rico were occupied by the United States following the Spanish-American War (1898), ending Spanish rule in the Americas.
Spain and Portugal had seized territories in Latin America arbitrarily and randomly, under the pope’s benediction, no matter how big the territory was -colonies size exceeding tens of times the metropolis and despite its population had reached to 90 million inhabitants in Latin America by the time conquerors had landed here. Besides, immigrants weren’t free people who had chosen to live and settle in Latin America, as it happened during America colonization. Unlike America, troops were sent from Europe, to carry out invasions, under king’s authority, like an emperor’s worker representative.
These “clerks” began to organize a sacking and pillaging, thus the economic and politic process in the colonies took only place under arbitrary and capricious, irregular rules to finally leading to the creation of poor institutions at a high cost.
Capitalism had constituted a main base for countries to accumulate capital, such as the United States, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Holland at the beginning. This way, these countries became into agricultural powers –powerful nations- an increasing vigorous market as well as being able to pay bills contract.
Both crop growing -agriculture- and peasants is always related to poverty in Latin America, unquestionably. But such an idea is only accepted as true within the Latin American environment, as a result for the way agriculture economy had been organized by the Spanish kings, under stupid, arbitrary and capricious ways, bringing poverty and backwardness in the region, at distributing and allotment of land, as well as slavery having a negative impact.
Conquerors were stimulated by Spanish monarchy that willing to pay them for services to the royalty, along with an ambitious church, granted gifts to conquerors in the new terra firma.
The only way out of this, mean, to pay favors, would be handing over land in Latin America as a parcel of land system, not properly for exploitation as it should be, but rather they were only mercy and act of kindness by the kings. Parcels of Land were so big, enormous, that their extensions would cover the size of countries like Belgian. Thus a new structure was created: “The Large landed Estate.”
&&&&&&&&&
The large landed estate has been responsible for the worst deformity ever in an agricultural structure; so influential and decisive enough as to impede correct advance of rural country society, compared to a halter or reins that would restrain any possibility for production variety, ruining the harvest culture.
All this took place while a proletarian class was introduced by force, the only a feudal link between peasant and land proprietors.
Besides, large landed estate introduced a new extensive land exploitation, which had always impair crop progress and finally farms unproductive farms operated by slave labor, later on, workers.
Alike in North America, Latin-American countries wasn’t aided by goods and services, or farm equipment, or tools, or machinery, seed, fertilizers or veterinary remedies.
America was too lucky at being colonized by prosperous land owners, expert promoters in agriculture and diligent people.
Slavery not only meant a set back at production but it also originated the worst of all problems, including racism for the first time, a heavy ballast.
It all began as blacks were condemned to wearing labor, and segregated to barracks after their duties, without any time or possibilities to carry out any social contact with others, least any chance for their cultivating intelligence, spirituality, and only an entity without value or importance.
Cruelty had reached to its higher point as slaves were banned off spring; treated badly, exhibited in markets at Cartagena de Indias, Habana and Southern United States. Even horse dealers and traders gave their beast a better treatment and consideration than that received by black slaves. Their women and daughters were abused by land holders and ranches owners while black witnessed this cruel spectacle, humiliated.
Finally, North America was added, with segregated neighborhoods, even clubs, plus a thousand circumstances that would bring a setback on part of this population area. No doubt blacks have deserved attention and assistance, support and fair treatment so he can catch up with.
