[quote=Anonymous]I read somewhere the difference between the outcomes of the North American and South American colonies are the types of natural resources available in each area. South America had a lot of gold and was used as the financial source for the Spanish and Portuguese wars. Therefore, they did not spend a lot of time building infrastructure and establishing roots in their colonies. This isn't the case in North America where gold wasn't discovered until the US became independent. [/quote]
