In both Anglo and Latin America, colonization made a huge difference. In both continents horses were introduced, and that meant the start of better transportation. In both continents, new diseases were introduced, killing off the Native Americans. In both continents, so much food that needed agriculture so much that it eventually lead to deforestation was introduced. In both continents, money, goats, religion, and etc were introduced.
However, when the colonists came from different countries, the impact on the two continents were different, and different things happened because of it. In Anglo America, the land was settled by England and France. They tried to educate and improve the Native Americans, different religions were introduced, and when the colony won their revolution, they formed a representative government to not let all the power go to a few people. In Latin America, colonists tried to take everything the land and Natives had to offer after conquesting the land. The religion introduced was mainly Catholic. When Latin America finally had its revolution, they had a new dictator lead the government.
