Answer 2

The common denominator between Europe and the Americas was the movement towards democracy. From The American Declaration of Independence back in 1776, to other revolutions in central and south America. There was a move towards governments that were representative and saw people as citizens, rather than just numbers or subjects. During the late 1700´s and until mid 1800´s, the federal project that had the intentions of ¨civilizing¨ native Americans was taking place meanwhile the United States of America was getting its independence, as well as other nations in the southern part of the continent. Between 1817 and 1825, the colonial status of the Newfoundland was granted. It meant that a council, court system and Governor was appointed to a determined land, because of the growth of the Newfoundland was that the new status was now of a Colony.  

México had just had its independence from Spain in 1810, Brazil was in 1822. In 1821, Honduras made its independence possible from Spain. Colombia too had its independence in 1810. That’s the proof that the movement towards democratic governments was also going on at the same time as the federal project to civilize Native Americans after the American Revolution.
