Reply to "The Libertarian Ideology"

I had hoped someone would further expound on why the US leaped forward economically so far ahead of not only the other nations in the western hemisphere,  but globally. 

The Democrats claim slavery was a foundation stone in building the nation.  True, blacks and, early in the colonial history, whites were slaves.  However, slavery was  legal in every nation and colony in this hemisphere.   In the US, slavery ended in 1865,  It continued in other areas.  In Brazil, the last nation to end slavery, did so in 1888, with the approval of their emperor, Pedro II.  Brazil is always the next great nation, but never arrives. 

While marginally profitable in an agrarian society, as the industrial revolution progressed, it was not only morally reprehensible, but economically a loser.

So, why did the US leap ahead?
