Impacts of Colonization in South America

Impacts of Colonization in South America

The impacts of colonization in America are more severe in some areas as compared to others. These impacts can be seen as the success in Northern America and the poverty in South America. Colonization led to land grabbing, slavery, and genocide; land grabbing led to the acquisition of more grounds in some countries and the loss of land in other countries. Subsequently, borders were set up to prevent people from other countries from crossing into foreign countries illegally. Accordingly, the aftermath impacts of colonization are felt among the colonized people who, until today, haven’t recovered.

Immigrants from the South aren’t allowed to cross into the North illegally. People from South America believe that the land in the North belonged to their ancestors before colonization came, followed by bloodshed. This belief makes people from the South bitter, as organizations are set up to limit their movement into the North that previously belonged to them. The construction of the wall separating North America from South America represented the change in time set to keep people from the South in South America. Organizations such as Border Patrol work around the clock to ensure that illegal immigrants do not cross into North America. In addition to the brutality of patrol officers, all these measures taken work to limit entry into North America.

Poverty in the South is a result of colonization and slavery. Colonization and slavery led to the economic growth of North America, while South America remained in poverty. Subsequently, people from the South relocated to the North in search of greener pastures. Additionally, those who cannot move across legally do so illegally, which involves walking through the desert. Some immigrants lose their lives in the desert, while others get arrested at the border. The example of the man by the road indicates the danger of crossing the desert. In conclusion, border crossing policies and laws should be made lenient to help conserve people’s lives. People should not have to lose their lives as they seek better futures.
