What went right?

What went right?

White country.

A lot of shit.

The protestant work ethic.

genocide

The Continental Congress was the finest assembly of great men since the times of the late Roman Republic.

Capitalism
It's not going right anymore btw

Nothing.

Large area of land
Tremendous number of resources
A population large enough to actually work said land and resources
Distance from any real threats meaning its infrastructure was safe
Relative social stability excluding the Civil War; even at the height of social strain the US didn't buckle into civil war with that one exception
Early industrialization
Large port cities on the Atlantic and Pacific allowing trade with both Europe and Asia

Broken promises and geography

Geographic Isolation from major powers: where the empires of Europe had to spend enormous amounts of money and resources into their armies to fend off rivals, the US could afford to direct its massive amounts of resources and cash elsewhere such as development, infrastructure projects, manufactories for production and provide funding for research into new technologies without worry from outside powers.

almost inexhaustible amounts of resources: America became the arsenal of democracy in WWII for a reason, and that's because the amount of raw material available to them on their own soil was unmatched anywhere else in the world except Russia/the Soviet Union. The US had the ability to make a military-industrial complex that could outproduce any other nation in the world nearly 3 times over. A military that can almost painlessly replaces loses like that is simply unbeatable when fully committed.

Republican system of government adopted early: Monarchies have the diceroll chance of rulers either being great statesmen and leaders, or hopelessly incompetent and completely unable to even handle matters of state. You can have a Peter the Great, or you can have an Nicholas II. the US's system of calling a national election increased the chance of a leader being competent as they were chosen by an electorate rather than just being born in the right family, and ensuring that these leaders terms in office were short reduced the chance for widespread corruption to really take hold that plague systems with rulers that serve for life, with all but one US leader only serving at most 2 terms in office as President.

Native americans made up a tiny proportion of the population. Why should 100 settlers starve somewhere so 1 hunter gatherer can fish and pick berries on some plot of land?

Slightly cheaper cotton was nice but I wouldn't say it was pivotal in the US's development, the cost of the civil war nixed the benefits of it.

Factually speaking America's prosperity is due to white male industrialists who were either born into or made it to the upper-middle class.

>huge land to do your bidding
>near autarky
>not in europe (i.e. no direct (pre-terrorism) threat to national safety except for canada maybe)
>mass industrialization
>massive levels of inmigration
>guess what; they found fucking oil and were the main suppliers of it during the second industrial revolution's beginning
>and were smart enough to delay the trust's encroaching in the political spheres for enough time to ensure massive profits gave at least a boost to industrialization
>mass network of natural harbors
>massive navigable river going through the country
>wisened up; built lots of railroads
>do i need to fucking keep going?
US op; pls nerf

>took several wise men and a lot of pressure; including some military one; to get their heads out of their asses; for them to stop thinking on state terms and on union terms and accept the fucking constitution.
Top kek

People sperg about the civil war and forget the endless liberal-conservative revolutions in europe every fucking 5 years

Should have integrated the fucking natives then instead of letting private interests from modifying narratives; fabricating incidents and causing bloodbaths.
The "muh civilizing nation" narrative crashes into a wall when historians point out how little the us did of civilizing anyone.

There wasn't much left to integrate, 90% died from disease.

Integrating a tribal society into a post Renaissance society isn't that easy.

You can't force people to integrate with such a vast wilderness on your frontier. More white people joined tribes than the other way around. Because psychologically we still find hunter-gatherer/tribal living more stimulating and rewarding than sitting at a desk all day.

Shortage of labour led to higher wages motivating people to work harder and innovate, leading to huge consumer spending, expanding the market meaning even in the face of massive immigration the labor shortage never really went away

Temperate climate, natural harbours, large amounts of resources, arable land in varying environments, and the vast network of navigable rivers including the Mississippi

>white country

Whitewashing. Before the Civil War, the US had two world exports: cotton and tobacco. The Europeans didn't need our manufactured goods before they started burning their continent to the ground. They needed US raw materials.

Slavery provided this at a price superior to the rest of the world. The only work ethic the whites had was in figuring out how to make the brothers work harder.

This is why China is still growing at 7-9%. White Amerifats can't even fit their fat asses in their office chairs anymore.

European DNA.

Capitalism and freedom.

>Should have integrated the fucking natives
Thats how Mexico happens.

Protestantism, genocide, imperialism, europe destroying itself twice and a perfect geographic position.

Niggers were basically robots who pick crops while whites were the ones who planted and sold them, without whites the blacks would do absolutely nothing in America at all.

Well yeah cuz without whites there wouldnt be any blacks in america duh

In retrospect the natives would have made better workers than blacks its too bad those spanish dumbasses killed off most of them.
