Historically, Americans, i.e. residents of U.S.A. pride themselves as living in a “land of free”. This is based on how this country was populated from immigrants from Europe, who came due to religious and other persecutions to this near virgin land.

- Free-enterprise and innovations were richly rewarded
- This land was nearly virgin and had a fertile land mass with abundant natural resources needed for economic growth.
