The plans for the colonization of America were directly taken from the
contemporaneous plans for colonizing Ireland.

So, much like the United States, then?

No, nothing like the US.
Since not long after the French and got here, we had to tell

The Spanish can have their Andean wasteland.
The French can have Los Angelos, since only
a Frenchman would want Los Angelos.
