Freedom? When I go to North America I don't see native Indians, most of them were exterminated in order to steal their land. Is that freedom?
You will find even disrespect to what they call "Hispanic people" that in fact are more native American that they are, from California to New Mexico or Florida.Those were not exterminated because they were lately incorporated from other countries.
In all the south you find lots of blacks living in misery, the descendants of slaves. Is that freedom? In Spain slavery was forbidden by law in XVI century. In practice there were abuses but by law any native Indian was a citizen like any other.
When you go to any Latin American country you find a significant population of native Indians, all of them somewhat different from another. It is not the same the people from Colombia to the people in Ecuador, Brazil, or Argentina. This difference makes hard for them to unite and became a US competitor. Also US has done anything he could to divide and conquer, including destroying by force those governments that did not align with US interest.
In the past it was Europe who controlled South America, now it is the US. Brazil is slowly getting independent, as it is big enough.
Don't get me wrong, I like the US and have lots of north American friends, but there is propaganda in any country of this world and people inside them believe it blind folded without thinking for themselves.
Europeans are not morally responsible for spreading diseases to the Americas that killed the natives. That was inadvertent and in many ways inevitable.
