Like I have said in the past.   I'm glad we were a British colony .  Had we been a Spanish Colony we would be 3rd world.

Not sure that "3rd World" is an appropriate description.  As I understand, the definition of 3rd World Country is based upon the fact that they only have 1 valuable natural resource with which to profit from.  The United States was, and still is a wealth of natural resources to profit from.

Edit: I just looked up various definitions of the term "3rd World", and none of them match the one that I was taught in Jr. High.
