Why are the English colonies in the Americas much more successful than the Spanish and Portuguese? Was it purely because the Anglos refused to intermix with the natives?

One of them started as a democracy and the other two spent a century of civil war to reform their monarchical system, which proves it was purely because Anglos refused to intermix with the natives.

Land ownership was far more concentrated in Latin America than in English colonies. This made majority of Spanish subjects poor, servile shits who hated their rulers while everyman's greed drove English to new heights.

They weren't much poorer than American colonist.In fact there was a thriving middle class in places like Venezuela and Cuba while the 13 colonies were redneck central.Also most royalist in America were natives not criollos who were the most oppressed class in the colonies

Racial and religious superiority. Also the climate.

Mostly geography (Mexico gets really screwed here, it's pretty much made to be divided), but not entirely. For example Venezuela and Argentina had great positions and by all indications should have been at least Canada-level by now. And they actually were up until about 1950. In 1950 the country with the fourth highest GDP per capita in the world was Venezuela, fifth was Argentina.

Then populist protectionists ruined everything.

Spains system was based on extracting wealth from the peasants thru the imposition of feudalism, the Anglos took a completely different approach because there were no natives worth exploiting, so instead they settled the land with free men.

>>2362414
The goal of the English colonists was to build a new society.

The goal of the Hispanic colonists was to exploit the land and natives and return home rich.

This guy is right.

Mercantilism vs Free Market.
That and Spain/Portugal are shit countries to be influenced by, they were still feudal by the 19th century and this affected how land was seen in LA, turns out trying to implement 19th century economic liberal policies is impossible when you can't let go of feudal practices and ideas, who would have thunk it?

>elites of LA: We want to be like France/UK/Germany but don't want to let go of the backwards beliefs of the Iberia

Retards.
