How do you figure the Spanish 'were responsible for the greater majority' of colonies? The 13 original British colonies formed the United States of America.
The Spanish, French and British all vied for the territories of what is now the US Southeast. Texas was colonized by the Spanish as was California. I'm not arguing that Spain wasn't a significant part of the settlement of what is now the United States but no they weren't the greater majority and they lost/ceded all their territories in various wars.
