Aristocrats did move to America but they were younger sons, not the older ones who were going to inherit the estates, nor the middle sons who were going to have daddy buy them an officership in the military, nor the younger sons who were going to have daddy buy them a ministership in the country, nor the smart ones who were going to have daddy buy them a university degree, but the leftovers, the scrag ends, who were sent off to fend for themselves. There were no roads, no bridges, no cities, no universities, no books, no brothels, no place to gather and play cards or music or have conversation. Nothing but raw land. The natives had vanished and left their farm land unoccupied. The settlers thought God gave them a miracle. The "miracle" was smallpox, that spread like wildfire from the Spanish settlements in Mexico and Florida. Almost all the the people who were part of the first Virginia colony (Jamestown, 1607) starved to death, the ones who were not massacred by the natives. The people who were part of the first, lost Roanoke colony (1587) vanished. Starved, massacred by the natives, or by the Spanish, enslaved, smallpox, nobody knows. It was tough getting started here. In England the Cavaliers and the Roundheads were fighting and the ones who were on the outs at the time came here. Some, as you say, were Puritans and went to Massachusetts (1620). Some were Anglicans, and came to Virginia. If you belonged to the established Church, you could get ahead better among your co-religionists than if you did not belong. The settlers did eventually make a home and eventually have things to sell back in England -- furs, tobacco, sugar. And with the money they bought books, furniture, tea, tailor made clothing, musical instruments, Arabian horses, fine China, Oriental rugs, all the things that a gentleman could want to feel like they were still living back in Blighty.

The rest of the world caught up with the US and will overtake it because they: ---benefit from all that the US provide during US time at the peak Hardly, much of the contribution content of Americas Contributions ends up as Mal Invested by local systems lords. ---adapt that to their own culture by: Looting and misrepresenting the use of proceeds is accepted condition by the dept of state, in purely economic terms, state dept is a wash and repeat purveyor....meeting local demand or not by the quid pro quo that may be gotten through a process. ---taking only what really contributes and throwing away what is a drag. Drag is in the relationship between Gratitude and politics.........to be understood as; not bought and paid for, local lords are free to ratchet the rhetoric, against the hands that feed them. The rest of the world is now the new pragmatists. ROW is defined by the level of the degrees of malfeasance within thier own gratuitous systems. Keep asking questions I am here to to reply to any one you throw at me. No....its my job that is input....
