Scriptures:

Nephi 13:20
20
And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that they did prosper in
the land….
They
Did Prosper In the Land
Nephi
beheld in vision that the newly formed United States of America would
prosper in the land.
The
United States is a great economic power, measured in terms of gross
national product (GNP). The nation's wealth is partly a reflection of
its rich natural resources and its enormous agricultural output, but
it owes more to the country's highly developed industry. Despite its
relative economic self-sufficiency in many areas, the United States
is the most important single factor in world trade by virtue of the
sheer size of its economy. Its exports and imports represent major
proportions of the world total. The United States also impinges on
the global economy as a source of and as a destination for investment
capital. The country continues to sustain an economic life that is
more diversified than any other on Earth, providing the majority of
its people with one of the world's highest standards of living.
At
the completion of the revolutionary war in 1783, the population of
the United States was about 3.5 million which was 0.5% of the world
population. In the year 2014, the United States had 4.5 % of the
world's population. However, as the United States has grown in wealth
and power, she has provided most of the airplanes, electronic products, modern medicines and a big
percentage of other world products. Also, many of the world’s great
inventions have been made in America, which has significantly
contributed to raising the world’s standard of living.
