Latin America.
adequate housing and services, most were forced to live in shantytowns that came to encircle all large Latin American cities.

The borrowed money had been used bycorrupt, or at best inefficient, governments in non-productive projects.

Blacks in Latin America.
Throughout Latin America and the Caribbean the slave population declined at the astonishing rate of 2 to 4 percent a year; thus, by the time slavery was abolished, theoverall slave population in many places was far less than the total number of slaves imported. The British colony of Jamaica, for example, imported more than 600,000slaves during the 18th century; yet, in 1838, the slave population numbered little more than 300,000. The French colony of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti)imported mo...

Español de América - lengua y litteratura.
Por otra parte, en algunas ocasiones el conquistador español se negó a aceptar el indigenismo y llamó con voces hispánicas a plantas y animales propios de América, aunsin que realmente correspondiese a la especie; así, es posible observar cosas como lagarto ‘caimán’, tigre ‘jaguar’, león ‘puma’, pavo ‘guajolote’.

La demografía en América Latina
economía de plantación en las Antillas, la explotación de minas en regiones de México y del Perú. Esas zonas mineras atrajeron focos de población.

Esa demografía durante el periodo colonial fue evolucionando de modo que algunas ciudades perdieron a su población por ser demasiado inhóspitas. Esta repartición de la población va en contra de la idea de su carácter rural. Otra característica demográfica es...

United Provinces of Central America.
IV REUNION EFFORTS Efforts to reunite the Central American federation in the 1840s all failed. But unity was still seen as a desirable goal—to give the states more power when dealing withforeign nations and to tie together people with a common heritage. But as conservatives came to power in each of the states, they rejected a restored federation,associating the idea too closely with the hated Morazán and his liberal policies. Carrera’s Guatemala was the first formally to declare itself an inde...
