Powerful

How did the United States become as powerful as it has over several hundred years here on Earth?

There are many reasons for this and I would like to write about several of them.

The first reason is that as nations go, this nation has had a lot of natural resources and a lot of luck as nations go. And the second reason is there weren't super developments like cities here at all before the 1600s because most people here before than were not farmers and were more nomadic in their lifestyles, so they didn't really develop the land. The argument could be made however that those who lived here before there were large cities were much kinder and gentler to the land if not to each other than those who came after 1600 in the U.S.

Since the 1600s people have become powerful by helping each other, helping each other build farms and barns and roads and helping each other during natural disasters. I was taken very much with just how much people in the midwest are there for each other after tornadoes and floods for example. It was obvious on the News as I watched on CNN TV how much volunteerism there is in our country just around tornadoes for example. This also extends to floods on all aspects of the Mississippi River and other Rivers in the U.S.

This spirit of helping Each other and if and when we feel we are rich enough to also help others from other nations and even in other nations I think the world is the most impressed by. And by helping ourselves and others we spread this philosophy to the rest of the world and this allows everyone to survive and prosper better too.
