Pacific Oceam

The United States of America, or the USA, is a large country. It is the fourth largest country

by area, only a little smaller than Europe. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east
to the Pacific Ocean in the west. The main landmass of the USA contains 48 of the 50
states that comprise the country. The only countries that the main landmass of the USA
borders are Mexico to the south and Canada to the north. In addition, two states are not
connected to the main landmass. They are Alaska, the biggest state, which is northwest of
Canada and across the Bering Strait from Russia, and Hawaii, a chain of islands in the
Pacific Oceam.

The United States has many different kinds of land. It has mountains and forests, deserts

and lakes. Almost any kind of land and climate that one can imagine can be found
somewhere in the United States.

As for the population, it is the third largest country in the world. About 260 million people

live there. While three-quarters of the USA is considered "white", their ancestors were
immigrants from other countries. Except for the Native Americans, approximately one
percent of the population, all Americans are relative newcomers to the country. About 12
percent of the ponulation have significant root in Africa and consiad themselves African
Americans. The Latino population, or people with significant roots in Mexico and South
and Central America, is currently 7 percent and growing. The Asian-American population is
also increasing. But despite the diversity of the people in America, any citizen of America is
considered simply an American.

The thirteen original states of the USA, which str etched from the Atlantic Coast to the

Mississippi river, were originally British colonies. In 1775, those states began the
Revolutionary War to separate themselves from Britain. With declaration of
Independence, issued on July 4, 1776, they formally separated themselves from British
rule. The present constitution was proclaimed in 1787 in Philadelphia.
The flag of the United States is called "The Stars and the Stripes ". The 50 stars, white on a
blue field, represent the 50 states, and the 13 stripes represent the 13 original British
colonies that declared independence from Great Britain in 1776.
The national anthem is called "The Star Spangled Banner", and is about the flag. It is from
a poem which was written by Francis Scott Key while hewas held captive on a British
warship during a battle. The early colonists in America had a difficult life, suffering from
hunger and disease in the America wilderness. Very often they were short of clothes and
other necessities.
