would Mexico have experienced the same amount of immgigration?

Answer 1

Well, in the 1800's silver was mined extensively in South America, specifically Potosi. The europeans controlled this and enslaved the natives to mine. They then brought over black slaves from Africa because the natives of Latin America were dying off. The silver was traded to Asia for tea and silk and other luxuries. Tons of transit existed due to the silver trade and movement of slaves. Mexico didn't really have immigration like the US did, alot black slaves from Africa came over however. Also, a fair amount of Europeans who traded goods with Asia, and frequently traveled to South America moved there, also many Europeans had plantations there.
