The natives were subjected to certain degree of acceptance or inclusion depending on European establishments. As a result of the structural differences marked by their particular conditions, three models can be identified among the diverse ethnic groups in the American continent. The first is in the North, where French colonizers required local labor force (indigenous labor) in order to develop commerce (mainly leather since no precious metals were found). Coexistence was reinforced with the arrival of the British. These diverse groups cohabited with certain equilibrium. In the second, British colonizers willing to recreate religious experiments (i.e. pilgrims and quakers), and without the idea of evangelization, did not need an indigenous labor force. African slaves were brought and lived closer to Europeans, but separately, while natives were almost exterminated. In the third model, in Central and South America, the Spaniards and Portuguese conquerors found gold and silver (El Dorado) and used natives as slaves (with experience in construction, mining and agriculture). Catholic missions were including not only converting natives (occidentalizing), integrating them to a new society. As a result of this relationship, Latin-America currently has a racially mixed population. In the three models, the economic expansive necessities of immigrants eliminated a great part of the native population, caused its gradual reduction, and/or were pushed away from the economic centers and natural resources. With time, colonization subjected native interests to the colonizing economy, its language, culture and religion, relegating them to an inferior status their local traditions, erasing cultural and religious differences opposed to European civilization.
