How can North Americans enjoy the wilderness when these beasts roam the continent so freely?

Simple. You don't invade their territory and be smart when /out/. Don't be autistic and just stay away from obvious bear territory. Most the time they are more afraid of you. Keep your rifle close by though.

You really have no idea how vicious these creatures are.
Here's a few pictures of a black bear slaughtering a herd of cows.

Looks like the cow got a lucky hit. However, these herbivores lack canines and can not inflict injury to the bear.

Not the guy you're responding to but I sure as fuck can. Go on YouTube and there's hundreds of videos of bears climbing trees, they can't climb for shit!! I could easily climb better than a bear.

This solves the problem almost all of the time. If you're really worried about the very rare instances where you do this and are still in danger, bring some bear spray or a large-caliber gun.

Not my first choice of meat, as it seems a little greasy and a bit gamey. However, it is very eatable.

As far as black bear attacks on humans. Most of those bear's were eight sick or very old. It is the very rare blackie that will just attack a human for food. Getting between a sow and her cubs puts you in the most danger.

Black bears can climb. It doesn't matter how fast you climb, as you can only go so far. Bear is not going to climb after you, but if it did, you wouldn't get away.

I'm a lot more likely to be seriously injured or killed in a car or boating accident than a bear attack. Hell, I'm more likely to be maimed while feeding or tending to my friend's cows or horses while he's out of town than a stray black bear.... You gotta put things into perspective. I am pretty worried about picking up a bad case of the Lyme someday though, I know a couple of people who are living with chronic Lyme Disease and it seems terrible.

I live in a area with black and Brown bears, wolves, cougars and moose. Bear is nothing all that special, though they might be strong af, they tend to leave you alone. If they don't want to, proper shot placement with a rifle will take care of the problem. Just make sure you practice with your gun, so you can do quick follow up shots if needed.

12 Guage pump loaded with brenneke slugs can make really quick work of full grown grizzly at close range (Check the round out, shit hits hard and doesn't frag up as much, so it just penetrate and obliterates it targets. Shattering bones and destroying organs with ease)

Lever action loaded with some Marlin .450 works really great for longer range and up close. The round is pretty much a +P of a .45-70, so it can easily handle a bear. A lot of guides up here in Alaska use it too for their main bear round. Usually followed by some thing in 10mm, .44 or .357. Which all handguns ppl have hunted and kill bear with.

Oh well, just my two cents from my experience hunting bears over the yrs. If any thing, be more afraid of Moose during mating season...shit is scary.
