Past lives in America (1)

? After traveling in the United States for a week during the Spring Festival holiday, I always want to know the historical development of a country. The United States is a unique country with a short history of more than 200 years. Its development from scratch and from weak to strong has left a deep impression on people. Now it has developed into the only superpower in the world. It must be meaningful to take this opportunity to sort out its past lives!

/kloc-at the beginning of the 0/7th century, the tide of immigrants began to flow from Europe to North America. Driven by various powerful motives, they finally thrived in the American continent at the western end of the earth and established a new civilization originating in Europe. The first permanent colony established by the British in America was Jamestown, which was a trading fortress established in Virginia in 1607. This place is rich in tobacco leaves, which can be continuously supplied to the British market. At that time, tobacco was a tight commodity in Europe. So, soon, the economy will be very prosperous.

They think they are a free union or country, just like Britain. They have only a loose connection with the London authorities.

In order to counter the British economic policy, the people of North America rose up and fought.

At that time, the federal government included thirteen states on the East Coast. The first president was Washington.

? Starting from industrial revolution in europe in 1825, the United States began to explore the vast western region. American territory continues to expand to the west. At that time, Mexico was also very strong and expanded from south to northwest, so it finally collided with the United States in what is now Texas. 1846- 1848, the United States and Mexico fought for land, and finally the United States won, opening up a large area of land from the east coast to the west coast.
