16. MARGAIN REVIEW QUESTION #3

17. What was the economic foundation of colonial rule in Mexico and Peru
What was the economic foundation of colonial rule in Mexico and Peru? How did it shape the kinds of societies that arose there? `
The great farm land was a good place for agriculture in Mexico and Peru.
Because of this they had used “foreigners” as slaves to do all of this work for them.
Because of this mix, there was a mix of the races making many different races and societies.

18. EVIDENCE
“ The economic foundation for this emerging colonial society lay in commercial agriculture, much of it on large rural estates, and in silver and gold mining”
“In both cases, native peoples, rather than African slaves or European workers, provided the labor, despite their much-diminished numbers”
“The most distinctive feature of these new colonial societies in Mexico and Peru was the emergence of a mestizo, or mixed-race, population, initially the product of unions between Spanish men and Indian Women”

29. Research Question
What distinguished the British settler colonies of North America from their counterparts in Latin America?
The British colonies were one of the less prominent and one of the last colonies to establish themselves so they had all the leftover land. British were less interested in spreading or talking about Christianity than the other colonies were.

30. Explanation of question
The British settlers began to out number the Spanish by 5-1. The British were also one of the most pure non racial mixing colonies so far with no other race living with them.
Overall, the Spanish colonies were more successful for than the British for a while until the 19th and 20th centuries when the British colonies were now the United States.

31. Further explaining
Slaves were also not needed in North America because their economy was mostly dominated by small local farmers. The British who finally decided to move to North America all planned to get away from the European way of life, society, and government and thought they would make their own rules and how they lived on new land.
