PAGE EIGHT The Bluffton News presents another in the series of articles on South American neighbors. —Editor. With the United States long con sidered the greatest melting-pot of the world, the mixture of peoples that form the rest of the hemisphere has been greatly overlooked. However, should the question: “What are little Latin Americans made of?” come up, the answer would be far from easy to give. Maybe not “sugar and spice or puppy-dogs’ tails’’ as the Nursery Rhyme will have it, but certainly many other ingredients. The history of the people of our continent falls roughly into two periods. The first begins with the advent of man in the New World and carries his population history down to the discovery in 1492. The second epoch begins with the dis covery in 1492 and concerns itself with all subsequent population move ments to the present day. The Indians whom Columbus and his companions found living on the Western Hemisphere, had they originally come over from Asia or not—the point is subject to discus sion—may be considered as native to the Americas, and all those who came later are immigrants either of white, oriental or negro race. The re-peopling of the Western Hemisphere has been the result of the coming of over fifty million im migrants, some of these have driven out the native Indians, others have lived alongside them without great intercrossing, while still other im migrants have crossed freely with hmia.is and with other immi Latin America—Melting Pot Of Many Divergent Races And Nationalities RE-ROOFING?

In search of adventure, of wealth and of liberty they came, and “having established their primary base in the West Indies invaded the mainland, until their hogomony stretched from California and the southern United States to the tip of South America”. If,—as has been estimated— sever al million Spaniards emigrated to their overseas empire during the first two centuries after the discovery, how they came, the actual question of shipping still remains an enigma. Although settlement in North America increased as years went by, at the time of the American Revolu tion it had not yet caught up with Spanish immigration. To his exodus every region of Spain contributed. From the northernmost provinces of the Basque, the Asturian and the Galician to the extreme southern regions of the Extromaduran and the Andalusian, from the borders of France and the Mediterranean to the domains of Portugal, the urge was felt to seek the wonders and the op portunities of the Indies. Thus, all types of Spanish strains from the tall, blond Asturians, to dark, fiery Andalusians, were re presented in the descendents of those first settlers and others who came subsequently. The Spaniards, almost immediately after establishing their settlements began to ship Negroes to their plan tations as slaves to replace the un satisfactory Indians.

Apart from the Spaniards (and the Portuguese and the French in Brazil and Haiti respectively) who, of course, constitute the basis of its population in the same way as the English do in the United States, Latin America has absorbed large contingents of immigrants not only from Africa but from many other parts of the world. Italians came in great numbers to Brazil, to Argen tina, to Peru. Buenos Aires has become a larger Italian city than Rome and there are a million people of Italian descent in Sao Paulo alone. Southern Brazil and Chile have seen the arrival and establishment of large colonies of Germans, while English, Scotch and Irish immigra tion accounts for the number of names of Anglo-Saxon origin in several of the South American countries and principally in Chile whose national hero is Bernardo O’Higgins. The Pole, the Russians and the people of the Balkans are also found in notable groups throughout Latin America. The Japanese are particul arly strong in Brazil and Peru while Chinese are found chiefly in Mexico, Peru and Cuba. In Havana there are reported to be about 70,000 Chinese, mostly Cantonese.” An interesting experi ment in colonization is that of the Mennonites in the Chaco region, while in recent years a great many Jews of European extraction have come to seek tolerance and liberty in Latin American countries. While in many areas of Latin America the natives have completely disappeared, they still form the backbone of the population in some countries of Central and South America, especially along the West Coast. Those countries are precisely those where the Indians were organized in a more civilized manner in pre Columbian times and were therefore more unlikely to disappear alto gether. The survival of the native popula tion in these Western regions of the continent “offers another explanation to the relative absence of Negro settlements” there. Such is Latin America: a medley of races, of peoples and of national ities which Spain and Portugal (and France-let us not forget Haiti) have covered with the unifying cloak of their language, customs and civiliza tion.
