colonization

The American continents, by the free and independent condition that they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonisation byany European powers† In the wars of the Europeanpowers inmattersrelating to ourselves, we have never taken any part; nor does it comport with our policy to do so.

—Adams,John Quincy

Mientras en Norteame¤  rica la colonizacio¤  n deposito¤   los ge¤  rmenes de un esp|¤ritu y una econom|¤a que se plasmaban entonces en Europa y a los cuales pertenec|¤a el porvenir, a la Ame¤  rica espan‹  ola trajo los efectos y los me¤  todos de un esp|¤ritu y una econom|¤a que declinaban ya y a los cuales no pertenec|¤a sino el pasado. Whereas in North America colonization planted the seeds of the spirit and economy then growing in Europe
