1 More than 160 years ago, Edward Everett, a Harvard professor, expressed similar sentiments in greater detail:

we have no sympathy, we can have no well founded political sympathy with [the Latin Americans]. We are sprung from different stocks, we speak different languages, we have been brought up in different social and moral schools, we have been governed by different codes of law, we profess radically different forms of religion. . . . How can our mild and merciful people, who went through their revolution without shedding a drop of civil blood, sympathize with a people, that are hanging and shooting each other in their streets . . . ? It does not yet appear that there exists in any of those provinces the materials and elements of a good national character [12 N. Am. Rev. 432–43 (1821)].
