    Partially because the society being established was not the society already there. It is being conquered and being forced to adapt and adopt a culture that is foreign.

    2. The vegetation and planting within the American colonies was more like that of Europe.
    3. There were more opportunities for families to settle within America because in the Caribbean it was mostly young single males who were encouraged to settle there.

    The main difference in uses of the two colonies of course was money: the Caribbean was largely a more profit orientated social structure whereas in the Americas it was orientated toward creating a society.

    Hope this helps, if the information is not specific enough just ask. :)

    Stable is defiantly not the word for the Caribbean; ask the Muslims that live there.
    In parts of Jamaica electricity is sporadic and running hot water is not available.

    It's still third world living through a great part.
