North America thrived in large part because
political leaders and Church of England authorities
did not travel with the Pilgrims to America.

More importantly, before the pilgrims disembarked
from the Mayflower, they took the unprecedented
step of writing and signing The Mayflower Pact.
The Pilgrims made it legal for the head of each
household to practice capitalism by owning property
and prospering from their own hard work and frugality.

This was an earth-changing shift from standard
political and religious practice of the day and how
most nations are still governed today.
