What played a major role in Industrialization in the U.S.?

Question

It's part of World History.

Answer 1

Lots and lots of bounty from the earth.
Everything from fertile grassland to large iron deposits. There are enough rivers for the early transport of these items. Heck there's even gold in the West;
Cheap labor (slaves from Africa) helped too, mostly in Southern plantations.
Americans had all the raw materials--directly under there feet.

Answer 2

Raw goods didn't help US industrialization much, actually. Most industrial nations had their raw goods produced elsewhere (which started imperialism). A large part of it was that the North was a bad area for an agricultural economy, so they turned to an industrial one. Also, stealing British technology and Eli Whitney's "invention" of interchangiable parts (he stole it from the French army) allowed US manufacturing to take off.
