'What he did have was a highly developed society behind him."
Well, if one is to reckon properly, United States as a society developed more from the Norsemen [and their civilizational progeny's] heritage than from that of the Iberians. If the current influx of the illegals continues, it may change.

Norsemen had an input on social organization of Saxon England even before 1066. Norman nobility were direct descendants of Norsemen [Willian the Conqueror was the 6th generation descendant from one of Harold Harfager's earls]
