    The Economic History of the United States has its roots in European colonization later growing into 13 independent farming economies, which joined together in 1776 to form the United States of America. In 230 years the United States grew to a huge, integrated, industrialized economy that makes up nearly a quarter of the world economy. The main causes were a large unified market, a supportive political-legal system, vast areas of highly productive farmlands, vast natural resources, and an entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to investing in material and human capital.
