Well I'll just chime in with my 2 cents here. Obviously there are tons of reasons why the US succeeded in being one of the wealthiest and most powerful nations in the world so it's not going to boil down to one thing. Stuff like natural resources and being isolated from the old world by two oceans and a strong constitution all play into it.
But my main reasons are two:
1. Individual economic and religious freedom, as being a young nation we have never had a monarchy or singular ruler like an emperor
2. Space, land for common people to claim as their own and settle
Both of these combined made the nation attractive for farmers and inventors and entrepreneurs to come here and thrive.
