2026-02-20 21:32:20 +0000 UTCSome interesting points on what Matt's talking about with Spain and slavery and their imperial enterprise vs other Medieval modes of monarchical rule. Spain especially during this time and for centuries was an "extractive" systems rule - main goal was to extract wealth from other places (colonies) to enrich the aristocracy and monarchs back in Spain. Some historians claim this is why Spain, Mexico-Central America/South America are still relatively poor compared to other places today. Yes, urban areas have some wealth, but the nations themselves are still fairly poor compared to others. Historians contrast this with "systems" or "settler" societies like the burgher or guild systems that were on the rise in Western Europe. While the Western Europeans still extracted stuff and later used slaves and also had feudalism - the systems were still gaining strength and influence - even over monarchies and parliaments. Systems institutions were built on creating and providing systems where common people could rise in the ranks and become wealthy and that wealth eventually won them political power. Systems included capitalism, where a broad base could invest, have incentives for a shared economy. Pilgrims had to develop systems for group survival, which furthered the ideas of private property and shared goals (and trust) to make the group more prosperous. Contrast that to Spain, where they were more like fuck all these people already living here, we're just going to take their stuff. There was some of this exploitation still in the Anglo/Brit colonies, but it was still focused on making use of what was around them in productive ways. American slaves (Africans and some Scots Irish indentured slave/servants) were used later mostly by the South. South was largely populated by a different portion of England that tried to escape the rise of parliamentary powers over the king. So, Virginia and Southern settlers ("Cavaliers" and others) were landed gentry in Britain and many who came to the American colonies were aristocrats in waiting due to civil war in Britain. They wanted to create a landed noble-class in the American South using slavery and more of the extractive mode - they also were crown loyalists around the time of the Revolutionary War. Spain's control of the west in America - kept doing this extractive stuff for a long time. The clergy, California mission system was basically the church taking over land and making indigenous Indians basically slaves (in the name of religion). that's overly simplified for sure, but an idea of how different economic modes developed. Anglo types built systems for mutual benefit, Spain, Italy and feudal systems were less so. Extractive societies bred a group of citizens who did not have incentive to build or create as much, because the rulers would take their shit, or it'd be corrupt because the people in power would take the profits for themselves. Whatifalthist/History 102 podcasts have great insight into these outcomes.
