Native Americans coming across the land bridge: it happened thousands of years ago.
Christopher Columbus: he didnt know the world was round he thought it was flat, so he tried to go around it and he ran into what is no America. without him finding it we pry wouldn't be here today, but hes not a hero. He came over 4 times with 3 ships, then he came again and brought 17 ships.
13 colonies: each of them had their own government, they won the revolutionary war against Britain which got us our independence.
French and Indian War:After the french lost the colonies felt more safe so they didn't feel like they needed the protection of Britain.
Revolutionary War: was 1775-1783 and it impacted us greatly cause if it wasn't for that we wouldn't have our freedom today.
Lewis and Clark: They explored places nobody has ever been. plus them exploring told us about the west.
Gold Rush: it made people want to go there to get gold. it hit its peek in 1852. 2 million metals and golds were found. it brought thousands of people to the US and out west.
Civil War: Between 1861 and 1865. it was very important because it held our country together.
Assassination of Abraham Lincoln: he was killed on good Friday and was the first to be killed but not the first attempt, this was a big deal cause almost everyone loved Lincoln as a president. and he ended slavery
