Depends on which parts of the US you want to concentrate on.

The point I'm making is European colonisation ALONE isn't enough, you also need to keep intact the local cultural hegemony whether that's tribal or theocratic and have the balance be they control the local level but answer to the colonial at an international level.

The tribal structure being intact after British rule in Somaliland is why they are a functional country unlike Somalia.
