On July 4th 1776 the Deceleration of Independence was signed which was the document that the settlers wrote and sent to the King of England telling him that they wanted their independence to become their own country. The colonies gained independence. Helped create a government for the people. States that all men are created equal. Gave other countries that were dealing with the same thing hope. Gave the colonies a reason to go to war with England.
The Civil War was from 1861 to 1865. It was the bloodiest war in American history. The Confederates vs the Union even brother fighting brother in some cases.
Native Americans from Asia came over the land bridge 10-50 thousand years ago. Became the first people in North America and down through South America. They followed food through the Bering Straight into Alaska.
French colonized the Midwest and Northeast America. The Spanish colonized Southwest America. The Russians colonized Alaska. The British colonized the Eastern Sea board and Northern Canada.
Boston Massacre - There was an argument between the colonists and the British troops. The colonists were throwing snowballs at the British troops and the troops ended up firing and killing some colonists which caused anger to the colonists.
Articles of Confederation was our first government which failed horribly. Failed because the states had all of the power to themselves. They didn't want a strong government because they though that someone would take over like the king.
