The United States of America

The United States of America. I love this country and I have posted some interesting things about the USA on this blog, about America's history and culture.

The English established colonies along the east coast of North America from Newfoundland as far south as Florida. Initially, the name "Virginia", named after Queen Elizabeth I was applied to the entire coast, including what is now the Canadian Maritimes and Newfoundland. Early colonies included the Jamestown Settlement founded in 1607 as the first successful English colony in North America. The Popham Colony, which was founded also in 1607 in present-day Maine, was abandoned after one year. The Cuper's Cove settlement was founded in Newfoundland in 1610. The Plymouth Colony was founded in 1620, and after the 1620s a series of colonies were established along the northeast coast of North America, including the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which was founded in 1632. The early colonies consisted of English farmers and gentlemen as well as some hired foreigners (mainly woodcutters from Poland).

The United States has many different cultures located within it. Different ethnic groups, religion, and races, it is a homeland for all. We are all friends. Just look at all of the culture, it's beautiful.

America has a lot of interesting history as well. Did you know that in 1950 Antihistimines were discovered to treat head colds and allergies? Wow. really cool.

The United States of America also has a very profficient Armed Services, The United States Army, The United States NAVY, The United States Air Force, The United States Marine Corps, The United States Coast Guard, And The United States Army National Guard. These people protect us every day.

If you would like more information on the United States Special Forces, please visit my other blog, The United States Of America Special Forces.

The United States has also been in conflict over the years. 12 as a matter of fact. First there was The American Revolution, The War of 1812, Native American Wars, The Mexican War (The Alamo), The American Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War One, World War Two, The Korean War, Vietnam War, Persian Gulf War, And the war that is being fought today on terror between The United States and Iraq. My sister serves in The USAF (United States Air Force). She flies fighter planes and is currently stationed in Iraq. I plan to sign up for the USMC (United States Marine Corps) when I'm 18. My father served from 1966 to 1968 in Vietnam. Some think this current war will be the second Vietnam (With a Nation wide draft).

GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Regular American life is pretty similar to other countries in the world. We watch television, we read books, we listen to music. Yet each country has a special and unique culture.

This picture above represents a Chinese parade. Parades are common in Chinese culture. Just like America would have a Fourth Of July parade each year.
