NEW YORK, Dec 11, 1999/ FW/ --- "Our neighbors to the south," is what most American's call Latin America. Although North and South America are both in the western hemisphere, there is a big difference in "culture."

This led to the migration of Europeans to the "New World" with the world powers during his time fighting for territory. The result, different influences in what was already thriving cultures of native North and South Americans.
