This document contrasts economic liberalism in Latin America and the United States in the mid-19th century. In Latin America, economic liberalism benefited a small group of people but made most of the population poorer, landless, exploited, and at risk. In the United States, economic liberalism also increased the gap between rich and poor. The differences were also due to immigration and industrialization modernizing the North faster than the agricultural South.

Estados Unidos. Debido a que existen grandes

independiente, por otro lado, tambi�n hay
diferencias entre estos dos grandes bloques, estos
contrastes son m�s prominentes a mediados del
siglo XIX.
