"the United States [...] created the industrial revolution "
I'm not taking a stance on the political discussion. Just pointing out
that the industrial revolution started in England, specifically in the
textile industry. It was illegal to export their machinery or even
drawings of the machinery because it was such an advantage. Samuel
Slater was considered a traitor to England for building similar process
equipment here after studying the machines in England and then emigrating.

We might have embraced and expanded the ideas...like a Microsoft to
England's Apple.
But I will add this, the United States with all it's evil Capitalism, advanced
the world at an unheard pace technologically for a long time and created the
industrial revolution. That's the difference between capitalism and socialism.
Motivation.
