History[]

Independence and expansion[]

Tensions between American colonials and the British during the rebel period of the 1760s and early 1770s led to the American Revolutionary War, fought from 1775 through 1781. On June 14, 1775, the Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, established a Continental Army under the command of George Washington. Announcing that "all men are created equal" and are born with "certain natural rights," the Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, drafted mostly by Thomas Jefferson, on July 4, 1776. That date is now celebrated every year as America's Independence Day. In 1777, the Articles of Confederation established a weak federal government that operated until 1789. Morocco became the first country in the world to recognize America’s independence.

After the British defeat by American forces helped by the French, Great Britain recognized the independence of the United States and the states' sovereignty over American land west to the Mississippi River. A constitutional convention was organized in 1787 by those wishing to establish a stronger national government, with powers of taxation. The United States Constitution was approved in 1788, and the new republic's first Senate, House of Representatives, and President George Washington took office in 1789. The Bill of Rights, forbidding federal restriction of personal freedoms and certifying a range of legal protections, was adopted in 1791.

Attitudes toward slavery were shifting; a clause in the Constitution protected the African slave trade only until 1808. The Northern states permanently stopped slavery between 1780 and 1804, leaving the slave states of the South as defenders of the "peculiar institution." The Second Great Awakening, beginning about 1800, made evangelicalism a force behind different social reform movements, including abolitionism.

Americans' eagerness to expand westward caused a long series of Indian Wars and an Indian removal policy that stripped the native peoples of their land. The Louisiana Purchase of French-claimed land under President Thomas Jefferson in 1803 almost doubled the nation's size. The War of 1812, declared against Britain over different complaints and fought to a draw, strengthened U.S. nationalism. A series of U.S. military invasions into Florida led Spain to give up it and other Gulf Coast territory in 1819. The United States took over the Republic of Texas in 1845. The idea of Manifest destiny became popular during this time.

The 1846 Oregon Treaty with Britain led to U.S. control of the present-day American Northwest. The U.S. victory in the Mexican-American War resulted in the 1848 cession of California and much of the present-day American Southwest. The California Gold Rush of 1848–49 further encouraged western relocation. New railways made relocation easier for settlers and increased conflicts with Native Americans. Over a half-century, up to 40 million American bison, or buffalo, were murdered for skins and meat and to ease the railways' spread. The loss of the buffalo, which were valuable to the plains Indians, caused many native cultures to become gone forever.

World War I, Great Depression, and World War II[]

Second Civil War and the Communist Party USA[]

William Z. Foster (president of the Communist Party USA) began to starting a Second American Civil War with the United States in 1950 because they want communism, not capitalism. And a lot of people in the U.S. supported the Communist Party USA more than Republicans and the Democrats. In 1960, The Communist Party USA has won the civil war, and the United States has collapsed and establishing the United Socialist States of America.

Californian War of Independence and the Cold War[]

After the second civil war, the Californians aren't thankful that the communists took over America, so they decided to start a war of independence in the same year. Californians began to free people that are from the gulag and attacking military bases that are from the U.S.S.A.; after that, they successfully won the war of independence in 1963.

During the Cold War, the United Socialist States of America has joined the Warsaw Pact, which means the country was joining the Soviet side. After the Cold War, the Kongo Federation has won the Cold War and the Soviet Union has collapsed.

Contemporary History[]

In 2001, the nation began to join the political and economic alliance Shanghai Cooperation Organization because they had a good relationship with China.
