Why did the European settlers/colonists breed so much with the natives in South American compared to in the United States?

cause they were dirty spaniards and filthy portuguese.

Because even with the plagues, central and South America had enormously greater population levels than the areas that would eventually become the USA and Canada. There simply were more natives to interbreed with, such that it was practical.

Because the US is a historical exception

The legit answer is colonialists from the UK (not sure about French though) went over with their families whilst the Spanish and Portuguese conquistadors were just men.

Anglos prefer genocide and imported slaves

Brazil was seen as a wild, untamed and dangerous place, not the kind of place that attracted families. The initial colonists were just adventurers that would have like 20 kuruminhas and hundreds of mullato kids. Only in 1700's with the find of gold did massive migration of families start.

England didn't have Feudalism and people were basically free to move to the New World if they wanted to, but Spain and Portugal still had a fair amount of Feudal holdovers, thus the settlers were basically all soldiers (and thus all men).

Basically Anglos brought women, Iberians didn't.

It's also the reason for South America's lack of development today, England sent families to till the land, construct homes and build new lives for themselves there. Spain meanwhile sent soldiers and aristocrats to seek out all the wealth they could find and then go back to Europe with it.

In the case of the Portuguese, it's pretty much because they had to. Portugal always had a small population, and you can't settle such a large area (Brazil is bigger than Europe). Therefore Portugal never had any problems in allowing settlers to breed with natives.

Britain had a larger population, and, when settling north america, could afford its population not breeding with the natives. There where also less to breed with.

There was also a larger population of African slaves in Brazil, which also stems from the fact that the Portuguese where so few.In the case of the Portuguese, it's pretty much because they had to.

i messed this up but I think you can get my point

kill myself

Only 25% of the european settlers in south america were female- there was almost a one to one ratio in the north.

Perhaps the denizens of Veeky Forums aren't so representative of early-modern conquistadors.

Damnit man, you can't even meme it correctly.

Because they weren't anglo-fucking-puritans.

Didnt know it was a meme - just visiting m8.

The smell.
North American indians were notoriously filthy and reeking, on par with Patagonian indians and Eskimos, whom no one ever touched.

It's well known that spaniards have enormous murder-cocks

Religious crazies in England liked to go to the new world in groups so they could be crazy by themselves without other people bothering them.
Religious missionaries in Spain would name local gods as christian saints.

The natives pretty much where from another world to these lads, they where looking for the new world and new lands in which they could put their seed in.
