communist governments from 1400-2000.
This is the Yarvin/Hoppe argument that a monarch's incentives align with prosperity, because he is effectively the owner of the country. But is this true? . No - from 1000 to 1800 absolutist governments had lower economic growth, mostly because of higher taxes to pay for wars.

yeah because international governments allowed China to join WTO and then it cheated on everything.
@keynestonelite Investors had their chance and they efficiently allocated their capital to China, what now?.

Driving point is that the United States' republican spirit contributed to this tolerance while England's monarchic spirit led to the downfall of their government in Ireland and a general weakening of the empire.
@arctotherium42 1798 wasn't a sectarian conflict, rather the Protestant Scots Irish were the primary force in the nationalist force. But in general, the point is that in Canada and British Empire in general anti-Catholicism was the regular essence of politics, while it was not in the U. States.

The problem with this is it never grew to the issue that it was in Australia or Canada (or indeed Britain itself). "By 1870, when there were about 930 Orange lodges in the Canadian province of Ontario, there were only 43 in the entire eastern United States.".
As with most ethnic conflicts, Catholic/Protestant conflict in the US wasn't an issue until the numbers got big. There was almost no immigration to the US (~97-8% protestant) for 50 years after the Revolution, and hence zero ethnic threat.

"The Irish-born Catholic, John Barry, could be trusted with the very best when the native-born Protestant, Arnold, had betrayed the country for self and position among the oppressors of the native land of John Barry and the native land of the infamous Benedict Arnold.".
One of the more bizarre contemporary revisionist misconceptions about U.S. history is the concept that the United States was particularly anti Irish or Catholic. The first captain of the Continental Navy and the Father of the American Navy was a Catholic Irishman.
