In what ways did european migrants transfer familiar patterns and institutions to their colonies in the americas, and in what ways did they create new american worlds?

There are many different ways of how European immigrants moved familiar institutions and patterns to their colonies in the Americas and the way they created new American worlds. England, Neo-Europes, and Spain had different ways of doing that can be similar to that of their homeland’s custom or completely new or generated to create a new American world.

EXPLANATION:

As for the ways, it can be divided into two different worlds. The first one is a different world and the second one is the same world. Each of them has differences in transferring the familiar patterns and institutions of European migrants from their homeland to the new American world. The explanation can be seen below:

Different World:

In the different world, it means that there were some differences between the tradition and customs from the old word that had been created in the new world. The example of this idea can be seen below:

•England:

-Prior to colonies, slavery was nonexistent in England. However, it is a must for them to change the laws to enable slavery in the Americas for economic purposes.

-Neo-Europes = colonies that attempted to replicate the same laws and social structure they had back home

•Spain:

-A new community took place in the occupied lands (e.g. Incas and Aztec) with a new social structure which was a Casta System that developed to all of the mixed races

-Haciendas was formed.  

Same World:

In the same world, it means that the European migrants brought their tradition and custom from old world to new world. They implemented a similar pattern and institutions. The example can be read below:
