It was survival of the fittest and there wasn't a king of queen to answer to. That's why if you look at the way the Constitution was laid out, it was based on individual rights and making your own way so to speak.
It's the same reason we are less taxed than most countries around the world. We have a right to bear arms, most Americans see socialism or big govt as a bad thing.
After WWII, the economy really took off, competition ignited and people were carving their way to become wealthy and powerful in this country. It's why you hear "You can do anything you put your mind to" or "The American Dream".
It's more than just luck, resources, or happenstance. In 200+ years, America has exploded onto the world scene in almost every category. It might flame out just as quick too.

American football, baseball, friggin NASCAR. Then you get the really bull**** stats. "Yo DeBrawn Brickoshay can run da freakin 40 yard dash in freakin 5 SECONDS! No rugby player can do dat USA USA!"
Quite right. No rugby player would ever attempt it. It isn't a useful metric for any non-North American sport and it certainly wouldn't help you in a game when you have to run non-stop for two 40 minute halves. Not only do players of American football get a two minute break literally every 20 seconds, they also have about 900 players on a team who they are allowed to switch whenever they want.
