The United States took Puerto Rico out of Spanish control and in a hundred years made it the richest Latin American region on the planet. We aren't comparing Puerto Rico to wealthy trading colonies with 400+ years of history (i.e. New England), we're comparing it against its regional peers.
That is true if you compare it with regional peers.
