First of all, the big colonies in the New World were established by the so
called 'represive religious groups'. Catholics in New France. Puritans in
New England and like minded others throughout the lesser colonies that
followed.

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. Spaniards and Portuguese came to the New
World to expand the Catholic world. And they succeed. Religion could be a
powerful motivator.

(OT: the Nahultal or Aztec would have a child sacrifice at the spring time,
for a good crop of food and healthy children that year. Rome altered it into
the Eucharistic Celebration; which kept the idea but shifted it into the
worship of the Christ. Our Lady of Guadalupe Hidalgo commemorates that
fusion -- a Nahultal received a vision of Her, verified by the local Roman
authorities; he, when he went, was declared a Saint. IIRC.)
