So the places where the British just massacred the native populations, populated it with Europeans, and created racial boundaries in society worked better? Makes sense. Had we not killed off so many Native Americans, we might have the same issue that they have in Africa or the Middle East where Europeans drew borders that ignored tribal and ethnic rivalries.
The Spanish way of blending cultures has proven a failure time and again.
And you make it out that the British came here to slaughter Indians .... They didn't ... The native Americans are responsible for their own past behaviors. Maybe they shouldn't have sold off land.... Or maybe they should have crushed the colonists immediately. Either way they allowed everything to happen by standing by.
Whether you like the colonization or not does not change the fact that the British were by far the best at it and instilled the work ethic and structure that have allowed these colonies ro succeed today.
