Wells blames a system in which racist ideology and violence against blacks has become a norm.

She describes in her text that there is an "unwritten law" that whites in particular white women, are in danger when living surrounding by blacks. The lynchings are public and made into a media spectacle. This behavior supports the mob, encourages the mob, and escalates the violence taking place because it literally supported or at the very least no one speaks out against it.

Lynching in America became common following the passage of the Civil War amendments and the end of Reconstruction. To maintain power structure in states where whites were completely outnumbered by blacks, fear and violence ruled. Ida B. Wells was considered a "muckraker", a journalist who exposed the muck or dirt of society. She investigated and exposed the lynching culture of the South. Despite, the support and disgust by many Americans who read her work, no anti-lynching law ever went to effect.

Answer:

Because they had a massive exploration by the mother country (the one responsible by the conquest), which took a considerable part of their goods.

Explanation:

The Latin American colonies were different from the British Colonies (Thirteen Colonies and Canada) because they were explored massively by Portugal and Spain during the three centuries of colonialism. The Iberian countries were following an economic and political idea called Mercantilism which, as the main aspect, was the exploration of a colony, taking the goods and sending it to the mother country. Only a small part was left for the colony. And why those colonies don't rebel against the mother country, you may ask. Because since the very moment the Iberian countries began their colonization, they didn't leave any possibility of revolution, with laws and severe control of the settlers and natives. Any try of revolution or riot was massively dismissed with violence.
