 Capitalist Society
 English settlers could live off
their own land
 Spanish capitalist enterprises,
nonetheless, were limited by
traditional feudal systems,
especially from monarchs in
Europe. English settlements
adopted capitalistic societies
more fully, allowing the
production of land, labor and
capital to be privately owned
and sold for profit.

The Development of the Port of Los
Angeles
Phineas Banning (1830–1885) is considered the father of the Port of
Los Angeles

1851, and soon realized the importance to the pueblo of a harbor. He
began by establishing a freight line from San Pedro to downtown
Banning was instrumental in building the Port of Los Angeles,
constructing the first breakwater and dredging the harbor. He
ran an extensive network of stage and freight routes that
connected the nascent port east to San Bernardino and south
to Fort Yuma.
Phineas Banning greatly improved shipping when he
dredged the channel to Wilmington in 1871 to a depth of 10
feet (3.0 m). The port handled 50,000 tons of shipping that
year
