Yeah that’s what happens when you have slaves that you force to do work and oceans separating you from the consequences of your actions. Anyone not succeeding in that circumstance is actually retarded.
To answer your question for everyone else reading, most powerful countries at the time did have some form of slaves but obviously that wasn't the only factor in the growth of the United States. I'm very interested in the other users answer though, I know it's gonna be some bullshit.
