Why were the only two succesful colonies in the new world ones which the natives were all killed and replaced by whites and there was also no race-mixing between whites and niggers/native-americans?

Spanish America was richer than the northern English/French colonies for most of their history, thoughbeit.

Richer in what way? Silver and gold that was all shipped to spain? Or abundance of cash crops that were made by slaves? The average person's quality of life in spanish americs was terrible.

Everything you just listed applies to British/French colonies. How did some Englishman in London benefit from the queen's merchants owning a workforce of millions of crop picking and rock mining pajeets?

You have to specify. The educated/middle class English man or the substantial underclass and the lower class people struggling to avoid it?

I never said it didnt apply. Just that spanish americs was only richer and more profitable for the upper class and elite.

Well, you originally set up the statement about "the average person", which would fall into the latter you've mentioned. If you want to just disregard them and only focus on the wealthy investors who got rich off connections during the colonial era, there were still plenty of Spanish/Mestizo families who also built private wealth during the colonial era.

There were more of them in the south. There's a reason that's where the Spanish had their colonies. In the population centers. The entirety of northern Mexico and Southwest US used to be natives fucking shit up. Basically they would be forced to raid to survive and that would bring the hammer down. I'm sure Americans weren't too picky about what they shot and killed in the woods to eat and there were a lot more of them. By the 20th century the US was ecologically devastated

The difference comes in how each respective colony was developed
Canada and the 13 Colonies were setup by Britain to act as Bulwark territory against France
Spain on the other hand was just trying to recreate the Muslim Empire but for Catholics instead
For Britain it was about living space for Brits
For Spain it was just about spreading religion

Unlike in the US, Spain imported the feudal system over wholesale from Europe which meant you had a ruling class of land-based nobility that valued being the unquestioned gods of their own private little fiefs, contrast to the US which did not import the feudal system and had a much more cosmopolitan and urbanized ruling class focused more around mercantilism (especially in the north). This was further exasperated by how Spain prohibited it's colonies from trading or interacting with each other, which strangled any unifying identity from forming among the ruling classes in its crib, which feeds back into point 1 about the Spanish-American elite each wanting to stay their own little petty monarch. Again contrast to the US, where the 13 colonies were all economically interdependent with each other and had a single unified ruling class that had a nascent singular identity as "Americans".

In virginian planter elites it was even common to claim ancestry from Pocahontas (the origin of the "i'm 1/16th native" meme)
