Hi CF, recall how you framed the question. Revisit your post which I am responding to. It's not recent history that was the genesis, it most likely occurred in the first 200 years of anglican inhabitation. Certainly the frontier and the homestead act played a role but much after an ethic was already well solidified.

"The United States became the wealthiest nation on earth primarily because Americans were the best educated [- David Brooks]." Discuss

I don't think this is why. Anyone else have a thought. Why did the US become wealthy?
