United States Unfolded: A Journey Through American History

The history of the United States is a dynamic narrative that spans over centuries, from its early colonization by European settlers to becoming a global superpower. The journey begins with Native American civilizations flourishing for thousands of years before the arrival of European explorers in the late 15th century.

British colonization of the eastern seaboard in the 1600s eventually led to conflicts that culminated in the American Revolution (1775-1783), where the thirteen colonies won independence and established a democratic republic. The 19th century saw the country expand westward, driven by the belief in Manifest Destiny, while grappling with internal divisions over slavery, culminating in the Civil War (1861-1865).
