US History

Native Americans probably migrated to the region from Asia up to 40,000 years ago. These indigenous people of the Americas lived in tribes, and were typically nomadic throughout most of their history.European explorers arrived in the late 1400s, most famously Christopher Columbus, who reached the Caribbean islands in 1492. Juan Ponce de Leon followed shortly after that, arriving in what is now Florida,as the first known European to reach the main continent. The Spanish began to establish colonies in Florida and throughout the Southwest and Mexico, followed by the French, and finally the English. The Virginia Colony in Jamestown, settled in 1607, was the first permanent English colony in the New World. Once the Massachusetts Bay Colony was chartered in 1628, many English settlers flocked to the new world.

Settlers from the Netherlands set up the New Amsterdam colony in what would later become New York, but soon gave up their territory to England. France established colonies in what is now Canada and the Louisiana Territory, which makes up a large portion of modern-day United States. Thirteen British colonies were established along the Atlantic Coast by the early eighteenth century. Throughout this, the indigenous people were exposed to the diseases of Europe, which they had never built up immunities to, and were pushed out of their lands progressively farther westward over time.
The French and Indian War, part of the Seven Years' War that took place from 1756 to 1763, was a territorial battle between the British and French colonies in North America. The war resulted in Spain ceding the Florida territory to Britain, and France ceding its territory in Canada to Britain and the Louisiana region to Spain.
The British Crown, in an effort to regain some of the money lost fighting the war, began collecting taxes from the colonists. Since the colonists did not have representation in British Parliament, they felt the taxation was unjust. These factors led to the American Revolutionary War, which broke out in 1775 and ended in 1783. The war was fought in many battles throughout the thirteen colonies, and resulted in the Declaration of Independence, which was signed on July 4, 1776. The system of government was based on the Articles of Confederation, followed by the Bill of Rights.
The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 nearly doubled the size of the United States, and was followed by battles with Spanish colonists to claim Florida for the United States in 1819. Over the rest of the century, the United States continued to expand across the continent, with the annexation of Texas, the Oregon Territory, California, and the Southwest.
Slaves had been brought into the United States since colonial times, but slavery did not spread to each of these new territories. The tensions between slave states and free states built up, leading to the Civil War from 1861 to 1865, in which the southern slave states ceded from the Union, creating the Confederacy. The Confederacy lost the Civil War, and rejoined the Union, and the slaves were freed, though still segregated in the South for years to follow.
The United States remained neutral at the start of World War I in 1914, but entered the war on the side of the Allies in 1917. During World War II, after an attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States joined the Allies once again.

Education System in the US

The education system of the United States is managed by the government at each level: federal, state, and locally through school districts. Public education is free and available to all students, and school attendance is compulsory from the age of five to somewhere between fourteen and eighteen, depending on the state. Aside from public schools, private schools and home schools are two other options for schooling in the United States.
Education begins with kindergarten at age five, though preschool beforehand is an option. After kindergarten, students progresses to grades one through twelve. Elementary education normally ranges from first grade through fifth or sixth grade. Middle school or junior high is typically from sixth or seventh grade through eighth. High school is from ninth grade to twelfth, with graduation around age 17 or 18. After completing high school, students can continue to college to earn an associate's or bachelor's degree. Institutions of higher education can be public or private, but most have tuition fees. Scholarships and financial aid are often available. The United States has a community college system, which offers two-year degrees called associate's degrees. Community colleges are located in many cities, and receive public funds to make college more affordable. Once completing an associate's degree, students at community colleges can then transfer to a four-year college if desired.
After attaining a bachelor's degree, students can continue to graduate or professional school to earn a master's degree, doctorate degree, or other professional degree.
