May I ask, then, what is the primary cause of South American nations being much lower in terms of GDP, despite having a similar history to North American immigrants?

Many.

Less population is one, less territory, Spain used spanish colonies mainly as exporters of their natural resources and didnt make any efforts on making them develop.

Spanish conquerers were mainly poor, alcoholic, and scum in spain, British pilgrims came with their families and werent scum in their colonies.

Also, natives were hostile and werent killed because the catholic church considered them as children like souls and had to be shown the power of god, british pilgrims just killed them.

There are many more reasons, basicaly on how spain and england administrated their colonies, there is little similarity between both.
