    North America (1450-1700 A.D.) and Latin America (1450-1700 A.D.) have many similarities, yet differences as well. One of the main differences between the two is their government system.

While in North America, they already had a slave labor system, as well as indentured servants. One of the similarities between the two is how their social classes were quite similar. They both were hierarchical within the colonies.…

    Mexicans. Puerto Ricans and Columbians are the three largest Latino groups in America. The term Latino also includes people from central America, South America, Dominicans, etc. The chapter further goes into explaining how the terms Latino and Hispanic are adjectives that describe people from different countries, but those people would never describe themselves by these terms. The term Hispanic refers to the influence of Spanish culture and language and then Latino/ Latina refers to former colonies of Spain. Nationality is very important to Latinos because it helps make up their identity and brings them pride, so by grouping every country into these terms can be considered offensive. Part of the reason why America groups these individuals together is because they do have some similarities: they speak Spanish, are mostly Roman Catholic and have common values or beliefs. Even though most individuals of these groups do not like these terms, they still will refer to them to show defiance against White Supremacy. In these individual’s history, they have faced oppression, defeat and a struggle for liberation. Many of these people moved to America as a place to be free, but then are met with discrimination and negative attitudes from non-…

You walk out of your house and everybody have loud music, giving you salutes, knowing all the peoples of your neighborhood. Compared to United States, where you don’t even know your next door neighbors, it’s a big contrast, you can live in the same place for years and you haven’t fraternize with nobody else that your landlord.

We love to dance on the street; we even have a song that says that, unlike USA, that if you’re dancing on the street you become a parade for other people.
