  In the early modern period, European powers competed to grab land in the Americas. In the
\nseventeenth century, the English established successful plantations in the West Indies and in
\nVirginia. Further north, puritans argued that they had found \u201cempty\u201d land to set up colonies where
\npreviously landless English families could make a home for themselves. But the land was far from
\nempty. Using legal and violent means, colonists gradually dispossessed native people of their
\nancestral land and transformed its ecology. Many came with a religious purpose and a conviction
\nthat improving the land would make it theirs. Private property in land was a cornerstone of English
\ncolonisation. With the possibility of pushing the frontier westward, labour was scarcer than land,
\ndriving up wages. After the Independence, the Northern states industrialised under the protection
\nof tariffs. Dependent on slave labour, southern US states and Caribbean islands grew cash crops for
\nthe British markets. As the soil depleted, they moved slaves to new locations. By the end of the
\nnineteenth century, the United States had become the largest economy in the world.<\/div>\n
