Hello everyone! This is the author Nick giving an introduction to this book. The reason I wrote this book is to inform people about the interesting history of the US! I hope you like this book!


What Happened between 1750-1776?
-The French and Indian War caused France to lose most of its North American possessions (Spain gained Louisiana, Britain gained the rest)
- Scotland incorporated its possessions into the British Empire.
- Russia gained more land in Alaska, their possessions stretched to near Victoria Island, British Columbia.
- Spain's land expanded.
- The US declared independence from the British Empire in 1776 due to unfair taxation laws after the French and Indian War. (More in Depth: During the 1760s, after the French and Indian War, which the British Empire spent a lot on, Parliament voted, without the colonists' permission, made tax laws on many everyday items,

including tea and paper. By 1773, the British had repealed all the taxes, except for the tax on tea. The colonists were VERY, VERY mad by this, so some colonists known as the "Sons of Liberty" in Boston dressed up as Mohawk Indians, who lived nearby, and raided British tea ships. Other colonists joined the Sons of Liberty on the way to the British ships. (They were the Dartmouth, Eleanor, and Beaver.)


What Happened Between 1776-1790?
-Most Importantly, the US won the American Revolutionary War (the war which was fought between the American rebels and the British Empire (and later France and Spain on the rebels' side) to win independence for the US) and gained lots of land in the British land west of the Appalachian Mountains.
- The Russians and Spanish gained land.
- The British expanded their influence farther north and west into Canada.


What Happened between 1790-1803
- The US expanded their land during the beginning of the "Manifest Destiny" (More in Depth: Manifest destiny is a period that started in the late 1700s and lasted until the 1850s. The Manifest Destiny was practically the "Westward Craze", which is people going crazy to move and expand their country's (mostly the US's) borders west.)
-Britain expanded through uncharted land in Canada
-The Russians made the final expansion southward, Reaching all the way almost to the US border.
- Haiti declared independence.
- The US purchased Louisiana from France (Spain gave it to them in 1800) in 1803 (They did this to make money because France was in severe debt at the time!)
