BR 2-08: The USA

Think of a big, beautiful, empty land with mountains, forests, lakes, animals and fish, but no people. This was America 30,000 years ago. (p. 1)

I will tell you one historic event. First, about The War of Independence. Thirteen colonies along the east coast of North America was all governed by Britain, and the people of the colonies became angry at the high taxes that the goverment made them pay. As a result, as you know, an event called "Boston Tea Party" happened. After that, in 1755, a war between America and Britain broke out. In the severe war, some countries came in on the American's side, and in the end Britain lost.
 
Actually, when I took a American Politics course in the first semester, I studied about American history too. However, there are some pictures of the history in this book, so I have got a better understanding about it. For me, the most surprising fact in it is that Thanksgiving Day comes from "The Pilgrim Fathers". If you want to know about it, please read this book.
