How would Mexico be if settled by 'Anglos' culturally)

let's say the spanish dont settle mexico for some reason. The US gets colonizing anf colonizes up and takes all of Mexico, How would you extrapolate current trends in US culture to Mexico. How would their culture be. I imagined it'd be a mix of 'southern' and 'western' US culture. Not sure; it might be like Belize with the increased black populations. I wasnt surehow the Aztecs would deal with contact with the US; but apparently the Mississipian cultures were just as developed and collapsed from european diseased which long preceded the white people. So apparently there might be little traces of Aztec culture by the time those places are settled.
 
I think it would have turned out the same way as the US did, the British didnt really care about converting the natives and assimilating them so they would just have a British style colonial settlement with very little different other than a lot more gold coming out of there.

I'm sorry, but what? The US didn't exist until after the Spanish colonised Mexico. Long after.
 
The Mississippians were much less developed than the Aztecs. Whiping out the Aztecs is just not possible by the British. So it is likely the British Mexico would be just as Creolized. Since british colonies were much more reliant on foreign immgration than Spain, it might be plausible to have a mixture of English, French Huguenot, Indian, and African in essentially equal cultural representation.

The British could probably wipe out the Aztecs in the same way as the Spanish did, create an alliance with the many, many tribes that utterly despised them and make use of Superior technology in order to ensure victory.

The aztec bloodline survived, and the Spanish were made to make concessions such as the Palenques, or cultural absobtions. While the natives of north america received. Very few concessions were made and very little interbreeding or absorbtion occured. I'm not saying the British couldn't conquer them but, I am saying they couldn't obliterate the nations, like they did in North America.

Probably a weird mix of the Southern Colonies and Carribean colonies and the British Raj and policy towards the Iroquois. British tobacco and cocoa and sugar plantations with indentured servants and African slaves, Tlaxcalan and Tarascan Princely State Reservations in a weird mix of their policies towards the Native Americans in the Ohio Valley and Hyderabad etc.

Independence would be a hell of a thing.

The Tlaotani of the Aztecs, the rulers of the Tarascans and the Tlaxcalans, holding little formal power under British rule, particularly after the Cuextecatl Mutiny, had tired of their vassalage. They had agreed to meet with disgruntled plantation owners in the east and the former Mayan lands in Raleightown.

"I am Colonial Assemblyman Thomas Whickton. So good of you gentleman to join us."

"We come on behalf our nations, good sir, as well as to seek the restoration of our rightful, Quetzalcoatl bestowed authority."

"Verily well. Our grievance with Mother England is her abolition of slavery most recently. Our fortunes in this fair equatorial land have come from cultivation of cocoa, tobacco and sugar cane by African laborers imported after plagues reduced the Maya in great number. This act of Parliament would put us all in poorhouses."

"So, you propose to declare independence?"

"That we do. Given your realms' strength and that at least some of you have converted to Anglicanism or some other church, we thought perhaps you would join us in this venture."

"We among the Aztec did not lose our reverance for our gods, though my peer the leader of the Tarascans would lick the rear of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The British West Indies Company may have taken many of our vassals and stopped our sacrifices and put those of us who survived the plagues to work in factories, but never did we forsake Quetzalcoatl and Tlaloc. All the same, it would please us greatly to throw off the English yoke. But, you, all of you, Mr. Whickton, are yourselves, Englishmen. What guarantee have I that you shall not treat us with the same perfidious mercantile greed and sowing of political division your countrymen, as merchant conquerors before the Mutiny and as official masters after?"

"You have our word as gentlemen. Aside from that, militarily, we are a good bit weaker. You have larger armies than we. We do not desire your lands, merely to maintain our own profitability that the Abolition by the Crown and Parliament threatens."

"If those plantations, once the lands of the Maya, did perchance lose their profitability in war if not in legislation, than perhaps we would suffer their fate of dispossesion and servitude, those that did not die of the pox."

"Perhaps, if you were to aid us in this struggle, we could become separate, though fraternal nations, uniting to throw off Mother England grown too smothering, and then part of ways, you returning to your old customs and empires, and we to our society of gentlemen landowners?"

"A partition is what you propose?"

"Yes. A war of independence, followed by a partition."
 
I imagine it would be a combination of something like Jamaica and something like Rhodesia in our timeline: a wealthy Anglo elite with a large mass of semi-Anglocised poor non-whites.
