The advantage for US business in 1800 was that the government sold land at a low cost. The federal government had much land for sale at a rate of 1.25 Dollars per acre. Adjustments were made, and by 1854 the land was sold at an average price of 12.5 cents per acre where more than 2 million acres were sold. Lots of the land had been in the market for over 30 years before the reduction of prices by the federal government.

Explanation:
The basic cause of the growth of conflict was tension
between the British need for revenues and the American desire for independence.
Before the French and Indian War, the American colonies had been left more or
less to themselves. During this period, they got used to having relative
autonomy and came to see it as a right. At the same time, the colonies were increasing
in population and economic strength and becoming less dependent on the mother
country.
After the war, the British needed funds to pay for the war
and other costs of empire. They felt the Americans should help to pay so they
imposed taxes and tried to increase British control of the colonies to ensure
smooth flow of revenues. This need came into conflict with the expectations the
colonists had built over the years.
There were many different reasons for the cold war, I'll only include a few.
Firstly the breakdown the the wartime alliance; Russia(soviet union) and America never got along but they both put aside their differences to fight against a common enemy, Hitler. Their hatred for Hitler kept the alliance going through the war however when Germany was defeated, they had no reason to stay friends.
They also have different ideological beliefs. America believed in capitalism, where there was a free economy with privately owned businesses and people making profit. Whereas the Ussr believed in communism, where the economy is controlled by the state, businesses are controlled by the state and a doctor would have the same wages as a cleaner- They wanted it to be fair for people.
Stalin was angry that Britain and America kept delaying D-Day, believing it was a plot to allow Germany to weaken the Soviet Union therefore there was tension.
Germany;
Stalin wanted huge reparations from Germany, and a ‘buffer’ of friendly states to protect the USSR from being invaded again.
Britain and the USA wanted to protect democracy, and help Germany to recover. They were worried that large areas of eastern Europe were falling under Soviet control.
It was difficult to come to an agreement.
There was resentment;
Britain and the USA could not forget that Stalin had signed the Nazi-Soviet Pact with Germany in 1939.
The Soviet Union could not forget that in 1918 Britain and the USA had tried to destroy the Russian Revolution
There are a few more I've missed out, but here's a good starting point.
