Think about who populated NA and SA. Northern EU came to North America and they brought their laws and customs. Property rights, Protestant work ethic, etc. SA was populated by Southern EU that even to this day struggles economically. Southern EU wakes up late, takes a siesta in the afternoon, etc. The northerners promote on merit while southerners promote family. Bit of generalization here but still fairly correct. Also, the US and Canada had people come and want to live there. In Latin countries Europeans came to strip the land of wealth and send it back to Europe.
