Hi,

I agree with most of your previous post, but Jesus! You forgot us!
Latin America.

You are talking about the "New World" and you has just forgotten the
large number of colonies of the rest of the hemisphere, south of the
border. In Cuba, Mexico, Peru, and in many places around them there
were large cities, universities and industries even before the first
Catholic reach New France and a lot earlier than the first Puritan
put his foot in New England.

Well, motivations were similar. Spaniars and Portugueses came to the
New World to expand the Catholic world. And they succeed.

Religion could be a powerful motivator.
