However in the recent decades, particularly from the beginning of the twenty first century, we see many Latin American states asserting themselves in the international sphere in general and challenging the hegemony of United States in particular.

authors agree that Latin America is often misrepresented, they disagree on whether the term "Latin America" is a misrepresentation of the region itself. Holloway believes that the term fails to explain the true culture and origin of Latin America. Moya; however, believes that the name is "more than a convenient label" and has more historical significance and cultural meaning than any other region in the world. Holloway begins with explaining how the whole concept of a "Latin America" was created by Europeans

America once colonized South America. Based on past examples Colonization of South America would be wrong because Americans would be taking away South America's freedom and increasing violence in their country Americans should not try to colonize South America because it would be taking away their freedom, like the British did to Africa.

Hawla Mohammed History-1301 6/30/2017 The Peopling of British North America The settlement of British North America was importance to the development of Western civilization.

John de Crevecoeur wrote about the migration of Europeans into America. He was a French aristocrat who settled into the American colonies where he purchased a farm in New York. Crevecoeur is explaining that America is made up of different cultures and is a new place that is equal to all people, and explains so with a passive tone and a powerful use of rhetoric.
