I'm not sure there is any distinction to be made, rather than economic envy being an excuse... since the economic envy of other neighbors didn't result in running them out of town... or worse ? In the U.S. it was made official policy... there was an expulsion... but, there was also a lot violence which is mostly left out of the history books. The timing was bit earlier... 1880's... after the railroads had been built. In researching my own interest in western U.S. history, I found a friend with a shared interest in a couple of particular events, and he has written a book about one of them... Also have a friend from Mexico who is from a Jewish family that have been there for many generations... a fascinating bit of history... that has its origins in the Inquisition. As Jews became persona non grata in Spain, one of the ways they found to avoid the Inquisitors burning them at the stake was to move to Mexico... where the persistent shortages of skilled Spanish personnel won them a general willingness to look the other way... The new world being at a great enough distance from the center that events back in Spain (mostly) had little enough impact that local governnors could ignore them... I'm sure its far more complex than just that... the center made an effort or two to "get things in line"... but, that's the gist of it... A very close historical parallel exists with my own view of how American views of freedom developed... only with Mexico being a very different place, both because of Spanish vs English rule... and because the environment and local cultures were dramatically different... but, the distance from the center enabled both a tolerance, in Mexico, and a brand of freedom in the future U.S., that wouldn't exist without that benign neglect they enjoyed... as out of sight, out of mind... .
