The Brexit was mostly a reaction against globilazation. They have not, cannot escape that. This will only make things worse for those people.
Things were pretty rough for the Thirteen States during the first hundred years or so. Give 'em time ...Who knows? Maybe the U.K. will have to ask the Taoseach for a bail-out!
Really? What alternate reality did you learn American history in.
The revolution was largely a rebellion against mercantilism. We WANTED to be part of the global economy. Also, we had a vast, nearly depopulated continent to export our poor to (go west, young man and all that).
That was all a huge windfall that the empire was keeping us from.
The only thing that really limited the US was the federal government's refusal to invest in internal development until after the civil war.
I'd say the first 100 years was a golden age.

NOT AT ALL. There were NO vast lands to send poor people to. There WERE vast lands the government wanted to develop (and no doubt to remove the indigenous people from) but these benefits were reserved for the rich and/or the prosperous.
The cost of purchasing and outfitting a huge "prairie schooner" was immense in those days and far beyond the reach of any poor people. Remember there were no government agencies supplying poor people with luxuries. In fact there was a huge population of physicians and dentists in the rush to the gold fields in California because they were well suited financially to afford the trip, either by wagon or passage around "the Horn."
In other words: There was no rush to populate the country with poor people at any time.
