Well, I don't doubt your relationship with him might be excellent, but I'm not the only one who saw this post as having little to do here, even though I could have also chosen another one hadn't been because it was the most recent reference of an unfortunate post of yours I had in mind. Anyway, what I want to tell you with that is that there are much nicer and -by extension- fruitful ways to exhibit an idea... wheter such idea is right, wrong or in between.

I'm not a Yankee Spain had no "colonials" or "kelpers", ok?

Yes I know, Spain always had viceroyalties, and it's from the times the Bourbons imported the Protestant term "colonies" to refer to them, plus the incorporation of unrespectful (and alien) methods to administrate these, that they began to think in independence, as they saw with contempt how they passed to be second class citizens from one century to another. Although it would be also unfair not to mention the big influence Freemasonry had on these "liberation" movements (as you can see in many of the South American flags), which just wanted to exploit the situation to their benefit and of course in detriment of others. On "yankeeness", I would never call that way a South American, not even to someone from Texas.

Nothing would be more out of place to compare the glorious Spanish Empire with these stupid fantasies

I'm not comparing, I'm just saying that all these maps are equally off-topic in this thread.

I said Aeternitas has a distorted vision on Latinamerica and I was censored Nothing more.

If you think again on what you wrote you will realize why the moderator in question deleted your post. In any case, what's the only non-apocryphal vision on Latin America? The vision of "pan-whatevers" regarding Catholic Amerindians who speak Castilian as Spanish as Isabella of Castile? Who knows if the next would be a discussion about wheter Chichén Itzá is a good example of Spanish architecture or not. Or better, someone thinking in moving the Monastery of Montserrat to the Machu Picchu for its symbolism as an unifying factor. I'm of course not implying that you belong to some of these groups, just taking some examples of the kind of conclusions some opinions can lead to.
