For a long while a country of settlers on private holdings bought from the land speculators then eventually the federal government having to step in with the Homestead act to get settlers to populate the latter additions to the country. (much of the public land set aside for this was swiped by the bourgeois anyway)
Not to mention the piecemeal redistribution of plantation land during/after the Civil War.
A country stamped with private property (great property and petty holdings) from the beginning. The petty holdings and the ethos of such satiating an unfortunate amount of people.
With that said, I don't consider myself a sakai deadender, I just think it's the difficult terrain burgers must cut through.
I will add that Haiti suffered a somewhat analogous trend with newly liberated slaves preferring small family production rather than something that to them stank of the old plantation form.
